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.
Lanthanide triflates are proposed for Friedel-Crafts acylations and alkylations, which are often carried out with AlCl 3 as the catalyst in an organic solvent. The nature of the Friedel-Craft reaction, especially the acylation, forces the AlCl 3 to irreversibly complex with any oxygen-containing group in the product, with the only way of decomplexing it being to destroy the AlCl 3 part with ...
Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, or silver triflate is the triflate (CF 3 SO 3 −) salt of Ag +. It is a white or colorless solid that is soluble in water and some organic solvents including, benzene. It is a reagent used in the synthesis of organic and inorganic triflates.
Scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate, commonly called scandium triflate, is a chemical compound with formula Sc(SO 3 CF 3) 3, a salt consisting of scandium cations Sc 3+ and triflate SO 3 CF − 3 anions. Scandium triflate is used as a reagent in organic chemistry as a Lewis acid. [1]
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) is an organosilicon compound with the formula (CH 3) 3 SiO 3 SCF 3. It is a colorless moisture-sensitive liquid. It is the trifluoromethanesulfonate derivative of trimethylsilyl. [1] It is mainly used to activate ketones and aldehydes in organic synthesis.
Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate or zinc triflate is the zinc salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.It is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst, e.g. in silylations. [1]A white powder, zinc triflate is commercially available, though some workers have experienced inconsistent results with zinc triflate from different sources.
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).
Copper(II) triflate is the copper(II) salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (known simply as triflic acid) which has a chemical formula of Cu(OSO 2 CF 3) 2, abbreviated Cu(OTf) 2. This substance, first reported in 1972, [ 2 ] is a powerful Lewis acid .
