| Application: | Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate is a reactive triflating agent and source of soluble silver ions useful for formation of electrophilic onium species, and promotion of Friedel-Crafts, nucleophile alkene cyclization, and esterification reactions. It can also be used: • To obtain olefins from secondary phosphates and thiophosphates. • As a reagent in the etherification of alcohols with primary alkyl halides under mild conditions. • To generate cationic rhodium catalysts from chlororhodium complexes for the hydrophosphination of acetylenes. • As a catalyst for the preparation of silyl ethers by hydrosilylation of aldehydes. |
