Abstract

Straightforward and reliable synthetic methods for the incorporation of perfluoroalkyl groups are highly desirable. (Perfluoroalkyl)trimethylsilanes are effective reagents that, in the presence of fluoride ion, have been used for the introduction of perfluoroalkyl groups into a variety of substrates, including aldehydes, hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and sulfur-based electrophiles. 1–9 For nearly twenty years, (perfluoroalkyl)trimethylsilanes have been ...
