Physical and Chemical Properties | When boron trifluoride (BF3), phosphorus pentafluoride, arsenic pentafluoride and other strong Lewis acids are dissolved, stable complex acids are generated: H[CF3SO3BF3], H[CF3SO3PF5], H[CF3SO3AsF5] is thus more acidic. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) emits smoke in the air and easily absorbs water to form monohydrate. Very soluble in water, melt water release a lot of heat, hydrolysis of trifluoromethane (CHF3) and sulfuric acid. Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) reacts with phosphorus pentoxide under heating to give trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (similarly, concentrated sulfuric acid reacts with phosphorus pentoxide to give sulfur trioxide). |

introduction | trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, as one of the super acids, is extremely stable to redox and can be used as a catalyst for polymerization, esterification, coagulation, dehydration and other reactions. it is widely used in plastic industry, fuel industry, pharmaceutical industry, synthesis of herbicides and growth regulators, synthesis of vitamins and sugar industry. |
application | trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH), a strong organic acid, easily soluble in water, low toxicity, and widely used. it is one of the known super acids and a universal synthetic tool. It has strong corrosiveness and hygroscopicity. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. It has small dosage, strong acidity and stable properties. It can replace traditional sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and other traditional inorganic acids in many occasions, and play a role in optimizing and improving the process. |
Production process | Using halogenated trifluoromethane as raw material, in a nitrogen-protected environment, zinc powder and tetrahydrofuran are added, and the trifluorobromomethane gas is introduced. Add catalytic amount to obtain elemental iodine, control the temperature reaction to obtain trifluoromethyl zinc halide reagent, add sulfur trioxide to continue the reaction to generate halogenated zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, add the reaction solution to the lye to neutralize, and evaporate the filtr, the solid sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate salt was obtained, and then acidified and rectified to obtain trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH). |
preparation method | yellow-brown liquid. Boiling point 167~170 ℃. 1.331 refractive index. Relative density 1.708. It is the strongest organic acid and is easily soluble in water. Using carbon disulfide as raw material, it reacts with iodine pentafluoride to form trifluoromethyl disulfide. Reacts with mercury to obtain trifluoromethyl mercury (CF3S)2Hg, which is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to obtain trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. |
Uses | Used in organic synthesis It has a wide range of uses. It is the strongest organic acid known and a universal synthesis tool. It is highly corrosive and hygroscopic, and is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. Such as nucleosides, antibiotics, steroids, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamin synthesis, silicone rubber modification, etc. Catalyst for isomerization and alkylation. Preparation of 2, 3-dihydro-2-indanone and tetrahydronaphthone. Remove glycosides from glycoproteins. |
