Trimethyl[difluoro(phenyl)methylsulfonyl]silane was observed in the crude mixture as a major product along with traces of sulfone 17. Notably, purification on Biotage (Biotage KP-SIL SNAP Flash Cartridges) resulted in the recovery of sulfone 17, suggesting that desilylation occurred upon purification.
