Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate or zinc triflate is the zinc salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. It is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst, e.g. in silylations.[1]
A white powder, zinc triflate is commercially available, though some workers have experienced inconsistent results with zinc triflate from different sources.[2][3] If desired, it may be prepared from reacting trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with zinc metal in acetonitrile,[4] or with zinc carbonate in methanol:[5]
- Zn + 2 HOTf → Zn(OTf)2 + H2
- ZnCO3 + 2 HOTf → Zn(OTf)2 + H2O + CO2 (OTf = CF3SO3)
