Description

2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl triflate (TFE) is a gaseous compound that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It reacts with nucleophiles to form fluorinated products. The reaction can be observed by spectroscopic analysis and is useful for the synthesis of fluorinated molecules. 2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl triflate has been shown to react with arginine methyl groups to form methylated arginine derivatives. This reaction is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction that occurs at an electrophilic carbon atom.
