The gas‐phase photolysis of perfluoroacetone in the presence of ethane has been shown to result in the production of significant amounts of 1, 1‐bis(trifluoromethyl)propanol‐1, (CF 3 ) 2 (C 2 H 5 )COH, and 1, 1, 4, 4‐tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)butane‐1, 4‐diol, (CF 3 ) 2 C(OH)‐CH 2 CH 2 C(OH)(CF 3 ) 2 . A mechanism is presented which accounts for the relative rates of formation of these products at room temperature.
