Nucleophilic fluorination of alkoxysilane with alkali metal salts of perfluorinated complex anions.^1a Part 2 ^1b

Abstract

Alkali metal salts of perfluorinated complex anions have been used to effect nucleophilic fluorination of alkyl-, arylalkyl- and arylalkoxy-silanes both in the presence and absence of solvent. Near-quantitative yields of fluorinated silanes are obtained using equimolar quantities of fluoride ion equivalents and alkoxysilanes. In certain cases, intermediate organoboron and organophosphorus compounds derived from the corresponding complex anions and alkoxysilanes are identified in the reaction mixtures, and based on these intermediates a mechanism of reaction has been proposed.
