The Fe-catalyzed insertion of fluoromethylcarbenes including trifluoromethylcarbene and difluoromethylcarbene generated in situ from sulfonium salts (Ph2S+CH2CF3−OTf and Ph2S+CH2CF2H −OTf) into X–H (X = Si, C and P) bonds is described.… Click to show full abstract
The Fe-catalyzed insertion of fluoromethylcarbenes including trifluoromethylcarbene and difluoromethylcarbene generated in situ from sulfonium salts (Ph2S+CH2CF3−OTf and Ph2S+CH2CF2H −OTf) into X–H (X = Si, C and P) bonds is described. The insertion of both carbenes into the Si–H bond occurred smoothly, and trifluoromethylcarbene could also insert into C–H and P–H bonds.
