Silicon-based fluorinating reagents for the efficient trifluoromethylation of carbonyls and ethylene diamines. Precursors used for metal-mediated trifluoromethylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic, vinyl substrates, etc.
(Pentafluoroethyl)trimethylsilane acts as a silicon-based fluorinating reagent for trifluoromethylation of carbonyls and ethylene diamines. It is also employed as a precursor for metal-mediated trifluoromethylation of aromatic, heteroaromatic and vinyl substrates.
Trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane ((Pentafluoroethyl)trimethylsilane) may be used as a perfluoroalkylating reagent for the synthesis of the following quinoline derivatives:
- 5-bromo-2-(perfluoroethyl)quinoline
- 8-methoxy-2-(perfluoroethyl)quinoline
- 1-(perfluoroethyl)isoquinoline
- 8-(tert-butoxy)-5,7-dichloro-2-(perfluoroethyl)quinolone
It may also be used in the synthesis of pentafluoroethylcyclohexanes.
Trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane ((Pentafluoroethyl)trimethylsilane) is a perfluoroalkylsilane. Alkyl triflates undergo nucleophilic pentafluoroethylation with trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane to form the corresponding pentafluoroethylated alkanes.
