Graphical Abstract

Easily transferred: The tris(pentafluoroethyl)silanide anion is accessible by the deprotonation of Si(C2F5)3H at low temperatures. Subsequent quenching with suitable electrophiles leads to a plethora of tris(pentafluoroethyl)silane derivatives and underlines the versatility of Li[Si(C2F5)3] as a powerful nucleophilic transfer reagent of the [Si(C2F5)3] unit.

Abstract

The tris(pentafluoroethyl)silanide anion is accessible by the deprotonation of Si(C2F5)3H at low temperatures. Subsequent quenching of the resulting salt-like compounds with suitable electrophiles, such as transition-metal complexes or Group 14 element halides, leads to a plethora of novel tris(pentafluoroethyl)silane derivatives. This underlines the versatility of Li[Si(C2F5)3] as a powerful nucleophilic transfer reagent.
