Abstract

A new and efficient method for the preparation of tri- and difluoromethylsilanes using magnesium metal-mediated reductive tri- and difluoromethylation of chlorosilanes is reported using tri- and difluoromethyl sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones. The byproduct of the process is diphenyl disulfide. Since phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfone, sulfoxide, and sulfide are readily prepared from trifluoromethane (CF(3)H) and diphenyl disulfide, the method can be considered to be catalytic in diphenyl disulfide for the preparation of (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (TMS-CF(3)) from non-ozone-depleting trifluoromethane.
