Hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene reacts at >/=150 deg C with its cyclodimers containing trifluorovinyl groups to give all the trimers expected for - and -cycloadditions.The ratios of the products formed depend on the temperature and are determined by the stabilities of the dimers and trimers concerned.All those trimers which contain a cyclobutane moiety take part in thermal transformations, such as ring expansion, dimerization and retrocycloaddition reactions.Hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene and its dimers, which are formed in retrocycloaddition reactions, undergo secondary thermal transformations.The latter include the previously unknown insertion of a hexafluorobutadiene molecule into the four-membered ring of one of the dimers.
