- Preparation of and fluoroalkylation with (chlorodifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane, difluorobis(trimethylsilyl)methane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethane

CF2BrCl reacts with aluminum/N-methylpyrrolidinone in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane to give Me3SiCF2Cl in high yield. Similarly, CF2Br2 gives Me3SiCF2Br with bromotrimethylsilane. Chlorodifluoromethylation of aldehydes using Me3SiCF2Cl and a catalytic amount of TBAF in polar solvents occurs at room temperature, providing difluoromethylated alcohols in two steps. Electroreduction of Me3SiCF2Cl in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane gives Me3SiCF2SiMe3 (anion-derived product) and Me3SiCF2CF2SiMe3 (radical-derived product). Using THF/HMPA strongly favors the former, whereas THF/TDA-1 (tris(3,6-dioxaheptyl)amine) the latter. Me3SiCF2SiMe3 difluoromethylates aldehydes acting as a difluoromethylene dianion ('CF22-'/equivalent), whereas Me3SiCF2CF2SiMe3 acts at room temperature as an in situ source for the perfluorovinyl anion (due to β-elimination of fluorotrimethylsilane). However, at low temperature the elimination pathway is suppressed and tetrafluoroethylene dianion ('-CF2CF2-'/equivalent) behavior is observed. The structure of Me3SiCF2CF2SiMe3 was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. All of the studied fluoroalkylating reagents are moisture- and air-stable and can be readily obtained from a single convenient precursor (CF2BrCl).

- The synthesis and properties of (CH2F)SiH3 and related monofluoromethylsilanes
-
The reduction of (CFCl2)SiCl3 by LiAlH4, Me3SnH, and (nBu)3SnH has been studied.The compound (CH2F)SiH3 (I) and all the compounds of the series (CFCl2-mHm)SiCl3-nHn, m = 0, 1 and n = 0-3 were detected and characterized by NMR spectroscopy.Conditions for the synthesis of I, (CHFCl)SiH3 (IX) and (CFCl2)SiH3 (V) with acceptable yields have been optimized.These novel compounds were studied by 1H, 19F, 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopy; their infrared and Raman spectra were recorded and assigned with the assistance of a normal coordinate analysis of 1 and its isotopomer (CD2F)SiD3.The thermolyses of I, IX and (CHF2)SiH3 (X) which start at about 120, 200 and 180 deg C, respectively, have been studied.Whereas I decomposes by a migration of F from C to Si, compound X undergoes elimination of the carbene CHF, insertion of which into SiH bonds ultimately gives CH3Si derivatives.
