Reaction of Nucleophiles With Perfluoroalkyl, Perfluoroacyl and Perfluoroalkanesulfonyl Groups

Abstract

dc:description

Trifluoroacetyl triflate is readily prepared in 82% yield by the dehydration (phosphorus pentoxide) of a 2:1 mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) acid. Reactions of this highly electrophilic trifluoroacetylating reagent with alcohols, ketones, ethers, amines, pyridines, and with ionic and covalent halides are reported. Trifluoroacetyl triflate is used in the synthesis of the first member of a new class of pyrylium salts, 2,6-dimethoxypyrylium triflate.
