A pentacoordinate bis(difluoromethyl)silicate anion, Me3 Si(CF2 H)2 , is observed for the first time by the activation of Me3 SiCF2 H with a nucleophilic alkali-metal salt and 18-crown-6. Further study on its reactivity by tuning the countercation effect led to the discovery and development of an efficient, catalytic nucleophilic difluoromethylation of enolizable ketones with Me3 SiCF2 H by using a combination of CsF and 18-crown-6 as the initiation system. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate that (18-crown-6)Cs Me3 Si(CF2 H)2 is a key intermediate in this catalytic reaction.
首次通过亲核碱金属盐和 18-冠-6 对 Me3 SiCF2 H 的活化,观察到五配位双(二氟甲基)硅酸盐阴离子 Me3 Si(CF2 H)2 。通过调节抗衡阳离子效应进一步研究其反应性,发现并开发了一种有效的、催化的烯醇化酮的亲核二氟甲基化方法,使用 CsF 和 18-冠-6 的组合作为引发体系,用 Me3 SiCF2 H 作为试剂。机理研究表明,(18-冠-6)Cs Me3 Si(CF2 H)2 是该催化反应中的关键中间体。
