General description

Trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane ((Pentafluoroethyl)trimethylsilane) is a perfluoroalkylsilane. Alkyl triflates undergo nucleophilic pentafluoroethylation with trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane to form the corresponding pentafluoroethylated alkanes.

Application

Trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane ((Pentafluoroethyl)trimethylsilane) may be used as a perfluoroalkylating reagent for the synthesis of the following quinoline derivatives:
  • 5-bromo-2-(perfluoroethyl)quinoline
  • 8-methoxy-2-(perfluoroethyl)quinoline
  • 1-(perfluoroethyl)isoquinoline
  • 8-(tert-butoxy)-5,7-dichloro-2-(perfluoroethyl)quinolone
It may also be used in the synthesis of pentafluoroethylcyclohexanes.
Trimethylpentafluoroethylsilane has been reported as a Ruppert-Prakash type reagent for the addition of pentafluoroethane. Recent report by Larionov and coworkers displayed the feasibility of adding pentrafluoroethane to N-heterocycles under basic conditions.

The scope and mechanistic implications of the direct transformation of heterocyclic N-oxides to 2-trifluoromethyl-, and related perfluoroalkyl- and perfluoroaryl-substituted N-heterocycles has been studied. The reaction is effected by perfluoroalkyl- and perfluorophenyltrimethylsilane in the presence of strong base. In situ displacement
