Perfluoroisobutene (PFIB) is the

isobutene and has the formula (CF3)2C=CF2. A fluoroalkene, it is a colorless gas that is notable as a highly toxic perfluoroalkene
. Few simple alkenes are as toxic.

Safety

Perfluoroisobutene is highly toxic with an LCt = 880 mg⋅min⋅m−3 (mice).[1] It is a Schedule 2 substance of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Perfluoroisobutene is highly reactive toward

thiols, and it is this reactivity that may be related to its toxicity.[1]

PFIB is a product of pyrolysis of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), one of the substances invoked to explain polymer fume fever.
