Application

Trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane can be used as a trifluoromethylating agent in the following processes:
  • Conversion of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)-imines to trifluoromethylated amines
  • Conversion of trans-enones to trans-α-trifluoromethyl silyl ethers
  • Trifluoromethylation of azomethine imines
  • Conversion of H-phosphonates to CF3-phosphonates
  • Nucleophilic addition of the trifluoromethyl group to aldehydes and ketones.
