Participants

Reaction Steps

3.32 g (20 mmol) of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenol are dissolved in 50 ml of toluene, and 8 ml of n-butyllithium (2.5 M in hexane) are added at 0° C. After warming to room temperature, the solution is stirred for 2 hours. Then 2.6 g of dichlorodimethylsilane (20 mmol) are added dropwise. The resulting suspension is filtered and the solvent is stripped off in vacuo. The colorless liquid which remains is subjected to fractional distillation.
