Abstract

It has been established that the demethylation of bis (trimethylsilyl) alkanes of the general formula Me 3 SiRSiMe 3 by concentrated sulfuric acid, followed by fluorination with ammonium hydrogenfluoride, can successfully be used for the method generally applicable to the preparation of bis (fluorodimethylsilyl)-alkanes, FMe 2 SiRSiMe 2 F. Although Si-Me cleavage was the main reaction in most cases, some part of the reaction gave a cleavage ...
