In organic synthesis, VOF3 is used for the oxidative coupling of phenols, for example in the syntheses of vancomycin and its analogues.3 For these applications VOF3 is typically dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid.
Vanadium(V) oxytrifluoride reacts with hexamethyldisiloxane to give vanadium dioxide fluoride:4
