| Application: | Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate has been used in combination with boron trifluoride etherate for the copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of allyl bromides, chlorides, and ethers with organolithium reagents in the presence of a chiral ligand. It can be used: • As a silylating agent for the synthesis of trimethylsilyl-enol ethers from esters of α-diazoacetoacetic acid. • To activate benzyl and allyl ethers for the alkylation of sulfides. • To facilitate the conversion of Diels-Alder adducts of Danishefsky′s diene to cyclohexenones without the formation of methoxy ketone by-product. • To prepare difluoroboron triflate etherate, a powerful Lewis acid especially in acetonitrile solvent. • As a reagent in a Dieckmann-like cyclization of ester-imides and diesters. It may also be used to catalyze: • Acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides. • Reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds with trialkylsilanes to form symmetrical ethers. • Glycosidation of 4-demethoxydaunomycinones with 1-O-acyl- |
