Abstract
α-Naphthylphenylfluorosilane (α-NpPhSiHF) has been found to react with several reagents possessing a labile H atom in the presence of catalytic amounts of nucleophilic agents. Thus, it reacts with water, alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines, with replacement of either fluorine or the hydrogen atom. With some chlorosilanes halogen exchange occurs, yielding α- naphthylphenylchlorosilane (α-NpPhSiHCl). A mechanism including nucleophilic assistance to a nucleophilic substitution reaction is proposed, in agreement with results obtained for the racemisation and hydrolysis of chlorosilanes.
