Abstract

Methyl trifluoropyruvate (1) and tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite (3) reacted to give methyl 2-[bis(trimethylsiloxy)phosphoryl]- 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(trimethylsiloxy) propionate (4). Partial hydrolysis furnished propionate 6, the molecular structure of which was obtained in the solid state. Attempted trimethylsilylation of the methylcarboxylato group in 4 using iodotrimethylsilane caused the formation of bis(trimethylsily1) [(2,2- difluoro- 1 -trimethylsiloxy)ethenyl]phosphonate (8). For comparison, methyl pyruvate (2) and 3 gave methyl 2-[bis(trimethylsiloxy)phosphoryl]-2-(trimethylsiloxy)propionate (5).
