Dependence of the formation rate of hexafluoropropylene oxide on oxygen pressure at 273 and 303 K was studied. It was shown that this dependence is almost inversely proportional. Experimental data confirm the conclusion that the epoxy is formed not in the commonly known reaction R-O-O-C{sub 3}F{sup {center_dot}}{sub 6} {r_arrow} RO{sup {center_dot}}+C{sub c}F{sub 6}O, but rather, in the reaction R-O-C{sub 3}F{sup {center_dot}}{sub 6} {r_arrow} R{sup {center_dot}}+C{sub 3}F{sub 6}O.
