Bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide

Bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide(BTP) is a fairly unknown fluorocarbon derivative first produced by Frédéric Swarts. It has recently been discovered that it is a good initiator for the polymerization of unsaturated ethylene-like molecules. It produces good quality polymers which are quite stable. This property is the reason an economical synthesis is sought for BTP.This chemical is unusual in the fact that unlike many peroxides, bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide is a gas, is nonexplosive and has good thermal stability.
