Product Information
2-Benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate is an organometallic reagent that is used to synthesize organic compounds. The reaction involves the addition of a nucleophile to the pyridine ring, which results in the formation of an amine with a benzylic ether linkage. This synthetic process is often used in the preparation of benzyl esters and aromatic hydrocarbons.
2-Benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate can be prepared by treating a solution of magnesium oxide with benzyl alcohol and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid at room temperature. In this reaction, oxygen acts as a nucleophile and will abstract hydrogen from magnesium oxide to form magnesium peroxide, while simultaneously reacting with benzyl alcohol to form 2-benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate.
The reaction is carried out in a hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene
