A derivative of trifluorotoluene, 3-aminobenzotrifluoride, is the precursor to the herbicide fluometuron. [3] It is synthesized via nitration followed by reduction to meta-H 2 NC 6 H 4 CF 3. This aniline is then converted to the urea. Flumetramide (6-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]morpholin-3-one), a skeletal muscle relaxant, is also prepared from ...
Triflic acid, the short name for trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, TFMS, TFSA, HOTf or TfOH, is a sulfonic acid with the chemical formula CF 3 SO 3 H. It is one of the strongest known acids. Triflic acid is mainly used in research as a catalyst for esterification. [2] [3] It is a hygroscopic, colorless, slightly viscous liquid and is soluble in ...
Benzenesulfonyl chloride is an organosulfur compound with the formula C 6 H 5 SO 2 Cl. It is a colourless viscous oil that dissolves in organic solvents, but reacts with compounds containing reactive N-H and O-H bonds. It is mainly used to prepare sulfonamides and sulfonate esters by reactions with amines and alcohols, respectively. [1]
For example, n-butyl triflate can be written as CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OTf. The corresponding triflate anion, CF 3 SO − 3, is an extremely stable polyatomic ion; this comes from the fact that triflic acid (CF 3 SO 3 H) is a superacid; i.e. it is more acidic than pure sulfuric acid, already one of the strongest acids known.
The first to investigate trifluoromethyl groups in relationship to biological activity was F. Lehmann in 1927. [5] An early review appeared in 1958. [6] An early synthetic method was developed by Frédéric Swarts in 1892, [7] based on antimony fluoride. In this reaction benzotrichloride was reacted with SbF 3 to form PhCF 2 Cl and PhCF 3.
Trifluoperazine, marketed under the brand name Stelazine among others, is a typical antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia. [3] It may also be used short term in those with generalized anxiety disorder but is less preferred to benzodiazepines. [3]
Triflidic acid (IUPAC name: tris[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]methane, abbreviated formula: Tf 3 CH) is an organic superacid. It is one of the strongest known carbon acids and is among the strongest Brønsted acids in general, with an acidity exceeded only by the carborane acids .
The modest acidity of carbons adjacent to the sulfonyl group has made sulfones useful for organic synthesis. Upon removal of the sulfonyl group with desulfonylation or reductive elimination, the net result is the formation of a carbon-carbon bond single or double bond between two unfunctionalized carbons, a ubiquitous motif in synthetic targets.
