CAS 1493-13-6: Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid
Description:Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, also known as triflic acid, is a strong acid characterized by its highly polar structure and the presence of trifluoromethyl and sulfonic acid functional groups. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is highly soluble in water and many organic solvents. With a high acidity, it is often used as a superacid, surpassing the strength of sulfuric acid, making it effective in various chemical reactions, including catalysis and protonation of weak bases. Its chemical formula is CF3SO3H, and it has a high boiling point, which contributes to its stability under a range of conditions. Triflic acid is also known for its ability to stabilize carbocations, making it valuable in organic synthesis. However, it is highly corrosive and requires careful handling due to its potential to cause severe burns and damage to materials. Its applications extend to the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a reagent in various chemical processes.
