Iodo-trifluoromethane

Recent work demonstrated that a more efficient and cheaper method to synthesize trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) is to use bromo instead of iodo trifluoromethane [72a] under a slight overpressure of ca. 3 atmosphere with DMF as the solvent. 

Trifluoronitrosomethanc, CF3N0, mw 99.02 bright blue, fairly stable gas, very irritant fr p —150°, bp —84°. Can be prepd by interaction of iodo (or bromo) trifluoromethane with nitric oxide in the presence of UV light. Serves as a monomer for nicroso rubber as a military poison Refs 1) Beil 1, l05l <99 > 2) Cond-...
