CF3 radicals from triflic anhydride and collidine: Their trapping by a trimethylsilylenolether

The interaction of triflic anhydride with s-collidine in the presence of the (trimethylsilyl)enolether of acetophenone led to duplication products the structure of which could only be explained by the formation of CF3 radicals.

CF3 radicals could be trapped by the (trimethylsilyl)enolether of acetophenone during the interaction of s-collidine with triflic anhydride.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
