Product Information

• Name: 1-(Trimethylsilyl)-2-naphthyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate
• Synonyms: Trifluoromethanesulfonic Acid 1-(Trimethylsilyl)-2-naphthyl Ester1-(Trimethylsilyl)-2-naphthyl Triflate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-(Trimethylsilyl)-2-naphthyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate is a solvent that has been used for the synthesis of oxygen heterocycles. It is also used as a reagent to cleave bonds in organic molecules, such as alkene, solvents, aldehydes and activated esters. This compound is an unsymmetrical nucleophile that reacts with electron-poor alkenes to generate an unsaturated bond between two carbons. Mechanistic studies have shown that the reaction proceeds through a concerted mechanism involving the formation of a covalent phosphine intermediate.
