Unlike the phenyl sulfones, this alkoxide intermediate (2) is more reactive and will undergo a Smiles rearrangement to give the sulfinate salt (4). The sulfinate salt (4) will spontaneously eliminate sulfur dioxide and lithium benzothiazolone (5) producing the desired alkene (6). The mechanism of the benzothiazole variation of the Julia olefination
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.
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.
Trifluoromethyl group covalently bonded to an R group. 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 ...
The compound is closely related to methyl fluorosulfonate (FSO 2 OCH 3). Although there has yet to be a reported human fatality, several cases were reported for methyl fluorosulfonate (LC 50 (rat, 1 h) = 5 ppm), and methyl triflate is expected to have similar toxicity based on available evidence.
[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 ...
It is also used as an acidic titrant in nonaqueous acid-base titration because it behaves as a strong acid in many solvents (acetonitrile, acetic acid, etc.) where common mineral acids (such as HCl or H 2 SO 4) are only moderately strong. With a K a = 5 × 10 14, pK a = −14.7 ± 2.0, [1] triflic acid qualifies as a superacid. It owes many of ...
