Reductive defluorination-silylation of alkyl trifluoroacetates with copper-deposited magnesium and trimethylsilyl chloride (TMS-Cl) gave 2,2-difluoro-2-(trimethylsilyl)acetates, potential difluoromethylene building blocks, in 60-68% yields. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Non-defluorinative electrochemical silylation of ethyl trifluoroacetate: a practical synthesis of trifluoroacetyltrimethylsilane via its ethyltrimethylsilyl ketal
An efficient method for the preparation of original trifluoroacetyltrimethylsilane, CF3COSiMe3 (3), in two steps from readily available ethyl trifluoroacetate is described. Electrochemical reduction of this ester using a sacrificial anode and performed on a semimolar scale afforded the unprecedented corresponding ketal, CF3C(SiMe3)(OSiMe3)OEt (2) in 30–56% isolated yield.
