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 organic chemistry, the triflyl group (systematic name: trifluoromethanesulfonyl group) is a functional group with the formula R−SO 2 CF 3 and structure R−S(=O) 2 −CF 3. The triflyl group is often represented by –Tf. The related triflate group (trifluoromethanesulfonate) has the formula R−OSO 2 CF 3, and is represented by –OTf. [1]
The trifluoromethyl group is a functional group that has the formula-CF 3. The naming of is group is derived from the methyl group (which has the formula -CH 3), by replacing each hydrogen atom by a fluorine atom. Some common examples are trifluoromethane H– CF 3, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane H 3 C – CF 3, and hexafluoroacetone F 3 C –CO– CF 3.
[1] Its p K a value in water cannot be accurately determined but in acetonitrile it has been estimated as −0.10 and in 1,2-dichloroethane −12.3 (relative to the p K a value of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol ( picric acid ), anchored to zero to crudely approximate the aqueous p K a scale [ 2 ] ), making it more acidic than triflic acid (p K a MeCN = 0 ...
4-Trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde is the organofluorine compound with the formula CF 3 C 6 H 4 CHO. Two other isomers are also known: 2-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde and 3-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde. These compounds are derivatives of benzaldehyde with trifluoromethyl substituents. The CF 3 group enhances the electrophilicity of the formyl group and ...
Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, also commonly called methyl triflate and abbreviated MeOTf, is the organic compound with the formula CF 3 SO 2 OCH 3. It is a colourless liquid which finds use in organic chemistry as a powerful methylating agent. [2] The compound is closely related to methyl fluorosulfonate (FSO 2 OCH 3).
The Julia olefination (also known as the Julia–Lythgoe olefination) is the chemical reaction used in organic chemistry of phenyl sulfones (1) with aldehydes (or ketones) to give alkenes (olefins)(3) after alcohol functionalization and reductive elimination using sodium amalgam or SmI 2. The reaction is named after the French chemist Marc Julia.
In organic chemistry, triflate (systematic name: trifluoromethanesulfonate), is a functional group with the formula R−OSO 2 CF 3 and structure R−O−S(=O) 2 −CF 3. The triflate group is often represented by −OTf, as opposed to −Tf, which is the triflyl group, R−SO 2 CF 3. For example, n-butyl triflate can be written as CH 3 CH 2 CH ...
