(Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane → HCID 54108533, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-triphenylmethylamino-6-fluorobenzaldehyde (100 mg, 0.24 mmol) in THF (2 mL) at 0° C. was added trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (0.06 mL, 0.36 mmol) followed by a solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF (1M, 0.36 mL, 0.36 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture was allowed to stir with warming to room temperature (ice bath removed after the addition of reagents) for 0.5 h. The reaction mixture was poured onto water and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL) and the combined EtOAc extracts were dried over anhydrous NaSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography (SiO2, 10% EtOAc-hexanes) provided 88 mg of the title compound (108 mg theoretical, 82% yield).
