Abstract

•PhSCF2CF2TMS and PhSO2CF2CF2TMS react with iminium salts formed from enamines and HF to form products of nucleophilic addition.•Radical or reductive desulfurization of the adducts affords amines with the tetrafluoroethyl group.•Primary, secondary and tertiary amines substituted with the CF2CF2 group on α-carbon are accessed by this method.

Enamines with in situ formed hydrogen fluoride underwent efficient reaction with trimethyl(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(phenylthio)ethyl)silane and trimethyl(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethyl)silane. Radical or reductive desulfurization of the addition products provided amines containing the tetrafluoroethyl group.
