The products from the reaction of xenon difluoride with the potassium salts of a series of dinitromethyl compounds (dinitromethane, trinitromethane, 1,1-dinitro-ethane, phenyldinitromethane) in methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and acetonitrile were investigated. On the basis of the data from analysis by GLC and UV spectroscopy it was found that in most cases the reaction takes place with the participation of solvent molecules. The proposed reaction mechanism includes a stage of one-electron oxidation of the anion of the dinitromethyl compound by the XeF/sub 2/ molecule to a dinitromethyl radical.
