Preparation of tri- and difluoromethylsilanes via an unusual magnesium metal-mediated reductive tri- and difluoromethylation of chlorosilanes using tri- and difluoromethyl sulfides, sulfoxides, and sulfones

Research has been conducted on tri- and difluoromethylsilanes. The authors describe the preparation of these compounds via the use of magnesium metal-mediated reductive tri- and difluoromethylation of chlorosilanes.
