Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methyl bis(pentafluoroethyl)phosphinate, (C2F5)2P(O)OCH3, (1.77 g; 5.6 mmol) is slowly added dropwise to cooled (0° C.) diphenyl sulfide (1.01 g; 5.4 mmol) in a 25 ml glass flask. The two-phase reaction mixture is warmed and stirred at 45° C. for 17 h. The readily volatile constituents are removed in vacuo (10−3 mbar) at room temperature. Methyldiphenylsulfonium bis(pentafluoroethyl)phosphinate, [CH3S(C6H5)2][(C2F5)2P(O)O], (2.31 g, 4.6 mmol) is isolated as pale-yellow and highly viscous liquid in a yield of 85% and a purity of 90%.
