Procedure
230.0 g (0.54 mol) of difluorotris(pentafluoroethyl)phosphorane and 41.2 g (1.089 mol) of sodium borohydride were refluxed with vigorous stirring for 3 hours in a glass flask at a bath temperature of about 110° C. The reaction mixture was subsequently distilled under reduced pressure (2 kPa), and two fractions of the product were collected in cold traps at a temperature of −78° C. and −195° C. respectively. For further purification, the combined products from both traps were distilled under atmospheric pressure under an inert-gas atmosphere, with the fraction in the boiling range 85–87° C. being collected. 194.0 g of pure tris(pentafluoroethyl)phosphine were obtained. The yield was 93%, based on the amount of difluorotris(pentafluoroethyl)phosphorane employed.
