[reaction: see text] The three-component coupling of aldehydes, secondary amines, and methoxytris(pentafluorophenyl)silane, MeOSi(C(6)F(5))(3), affording pentafluorophenylmethylamines has been described. The generation of the five-coordinate silicate intermediate is believed to be the key feature responsible for the efficiency of the reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
