Hj. Frohn et al., A CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF PENTAFLUOROPHENYL(FLUORO) SILANES - REACTIVITY OF PENTAFLUOROPHENYLTRIFLUOROSILANE, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 506(1-2), 1996, pp. 155-164
Pentafluorophenyl(fluoro)silanes (C6F5)(n)SiF4-n (n = 1, 2) were prepa
red from the corresponding ethoxysilanes by sequential chlorodeethoxyl
ation with SOCl2 and fluoridation of chlorosilanes with SbF3. The conv
ersion of C6F5Si(OEt)(3) and C6F5SiCl3 into C6F5SiF3 with anhydrous HF
was described. Some reactions of C6F5SiF3 with electrophiles and nucl
eophiles were studied.
