Three new methods for generation of bis(polyfluoroalkyl) nitroxides; reactions of nitrite salts with polyfluorodiacyl peroxides, polyfluoroalkyl iodides, and polyfluoroalkylsulphonyl bromides

Three new reactions of nitrites with polyfluorodiacyl peroxides (2), polyfluoroalkyl iodides (3), or polyfluoroalkylsulphonyl bromides (4) have been found to produce bis(polyfluoroalkyl) nitroxides (1), and their possible mechanistic paths are discussed.
