Description

Description générale

Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (also known as Triflic acid, TFMSA or TfOH) is an organic acid that is commonly used as a reagent in organic synthesis due to its strong Bronsted acidity, finding applications in catalysis, N-protection, dehydration, activation, and addition reactions.^, TFMSA is also used for global deprotection and cleavage in Boc SPPS.

Application

Recent applications of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid include:

• A dehydrating agent for the conversion of secondary alcohols to alkene, or the preparation of anhydrides from carboxylic acids.
• An acid catalyst in the synthesis of carbohydrates and glycosides.
• An activating agent for the activation of carboxylic acids and can be used for the synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives such as esters, amides, and anhydrides.
