Compounds carrying reactive fluorine atoms, such as methylphosphonis difluoride and perfluoroisobutene, undergo facile exchange with organosilanes and stannanes.Reactions with protic nucleophiles also yield similar products.To account for the products formed and observed reactivity differences, appropriate mechanisms are proposed.The reactions described herein have considerable synthetic utility.
