Varsal Introduces Triflates and Silylated Derivatives

Warminster, PA - (January 15, 2003)

Varsal, the world’s leading producer of methanesulfonic acid and its derivatives, announces the addition of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid) and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (triflic anhydride) to its line of products. Triflates are only available from limited sources worldwide.

Triflates are one of the best leaving groups for organic synthesis (SN2 reactions), due to the stabilizing effect of the fluorine atoms on the anion, and can be extremely useful in chiral synthesis. When combined with silanes, triflates can be very useful for silylation of unreactive substrates, such as primary and secondary alcohols.

Varsal offers several different silylated triflates, such as tert-butyldimethylsilyl triflate (TBDMS-triflate) to silylate tertiary and hindered secondary alcohols; and triisopropylsilyl triflate (TIPS-triflate) which is especially useful due to the steric screening provided by the three isopropyl substituents. TIPS-triflate is also very helpful to silylate primary and secondary alcohols.
