Stepwise Addition of Difluorocarbene to a Transition Metal Centre
Overview
Affiliations
The Ruppert-Prakash reagent (Me3SiCF3) is used to introduce difluorocarbene (CF2) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) ligands to cobalt(I) metal centres, whereby the TFE ligand is generated via [2+1] cycloaddition between [Co]=CF2 and CF2.
