Application

Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, commonly known as triflic anhydride, serves as a highly effective reagent in various chemical transformations. It is primarily employed in converting phenols and imines into triflic esters and NTf groups, respectively. Due to its strong electrophilic nature, it is particularly valuable in the introduction of the triflyl group during chemical synthesis. This makes it essential in preparing alkyl and vinyl triflates, as well as in the stereoselective synthesis of mannosazide methyl uronate donors. Additionally, triflic anhydride acts as a catalyst in glycosylation reactions with anomeric hydroxy sugars to produce polysaccharides. As an organosulfonic anhydride, it is functionally related to triflic acid and has become a staple in synthetic chemistry due to its ability to facilitate a wide range of downstream transformations.
