Overview | Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is a very useful class of trifluoromethanesulfonate reagents in organic synthesis, commonly used as alkylation reagents. The strong electron-withdrawing ability and reactivity of trifluoromethanesulfonyl groups of trifluoromethanesulfonate compounds are much higher than those of conventional alkylating reagents, such as chlorides or alkyl sulfonates. Because these compounds are very active, only methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is relatively stable. Other trifluoromethanesulfonate is prone to side reactions such as elimination and rearrangement, which need to be combined and post-treated under mild conditions. |
preparation | synthesis of methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate: under ice bath, trimethyl orthoformate (3.18g,30mmol) is slowly added to trifluoromethanesulfonate anhydride (8.47g,30mmol), transferred to 25 ℃ for reaction, nuclear magnetic resonance monitoring for 15 minutes, after reaction, 9.74g of colorless liquid of methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure, with a yield of 99%. |
Preparation method of methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate | Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and potassium carbonate first form a salt, and react with dimethyl sulfate in DMF or DMSO, Then add water to wash and distill, or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and methanol directly esterify. |
uses | intermediates in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical synthesis, monomethylation reagents. |
