Description

Copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate, also known as copper triflate, is a chemical compound that is used in organic synthesis. It is a salt of the weak acid copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and the amine. Copper triflate can be prepared by reacting copper chloride with triflic acid in a reaction vessel at elevated temperatures. The preparative method involves adding ammonium persulfate to the solution of copper chloride and phosphonates in an acidic environment. This produces persulfate ions which react with the copper ion to produce copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate. Copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate has functional groups that are capable of reacting with other compounds or molecules. It is an acid catalyst when mixed with phosphoric acid or hydrochloric acid, and can be used to synthesize some organic compounds such as quinoline
