Sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate is used in the preparation of N-fluoro-2-methylpyridinium triflate by reaction with dinitrogen difluoride as a reagent. It is also used as a chaotropic mobile phase additive in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
