Product Information
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is a strong acid, which is typically used as a catalyst in acylation reactions. It is also used to catalyze epoxidation and amination reactions. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid can be prepared by the careful addition of hydrochloric acid to trifluoroacetic anhydride at 0°C. The reaction of this acid with alcohols produces an ester and hydrogen chloride gas. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid reacts with amines to produce an amide and hydrogen fluoride gas. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is also capable of removing a hydroxyl group from carboxylic acids or phenols, which can lead to the formation of aldehydes or ketones respectively. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is also known for its ability to efficiently catalyze allylation and triflation reactions, respectively.
