Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate acts as a catalyst for the preparation of dithioketals. It is used as a Lewis acid catalyst in silylation reactions. It is also used as a catalyst for greener amine synthesis by reductive amination with hydrogen gas.
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.
Applications
Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate acts as a catalyst for the preparation of dithioketals. It is used as a Lewis acid catalyst in silylation reactions. It is also used as a catalyst for greener amine synthesis by reductive amination with hydrogen gas.
Solubility
Soluble in water and acetonitrile. Slightly soluble in methanol. Insoluble in dichloromethane.
Notes
Hygroscopic. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and acids.
