The reaction we describe is enabled by the strong basic character of the fluoride ion in absence of water. However, we observed that the reaction is remarkably tolerant to humidity and no anhydrous conditions are needed, making the reaction extremely straightforward to perform. The possibility of performing such reactions in a fast and reliable manner, without the appreciable formation of byproducts, can offer new interesting opportunities to efficiently employ propargyl alcohols derivatives as a masking group for carbonyls.

Current research primarily focuses on the compatibility between the C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>7</sub>N (Heptafluoroisobutyronitrile) and the solid materials used in equipment. However, C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>7</sub>N decomposes under electrical and thermal fault conditions, while metal materials are also prone to oxidation during the manufacturing and operation processes. In this paper, the interaction systems between the main decomposition products of C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>7</sub>N (CO, CF<sub>4</sub> and C<sub>3</sub>F<sub>6</sub>(perfluoropropene)) and typical metal surface oxides (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, CuO) are established.

The interaction mechanisms between the decomposition products of C<sub>4</sub>F<sub>7</sub>N and the surface oxides of typical metal materials are analyzed at the microscopic level, further assessing their compatibility.
