Scandium(III) triflate

개요Scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate, commonly called Scandium(III) triflate, is a chemical compound with formula Sc(SO3CF3)3, a salt consisting of scandium cations Sc3+ and triflate SO3CF3 anions.Scandium(III) triflate is an extremely active, efficient, recoverable and reusable acylation catalyst. Its an important catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts acylation, Diels-Alder reactions and other carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. It also stereochemically catalyzes the radical polymerization of acrylates. Scandium(III) triflate complex of (4′S,5′S)-2,6-bis[4′-(triisopropylsilyl)oxymethyl-5′-phenyl-1′,3′-oxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine has been employed as catalyst for the asymmetric Friedel-Crafts reaction between substituted indoles and methyl (E)-2-oxo-4-aryl-3-butenoates.

용도Scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate is widely used as a catalyst in hydrothiolation, selective two-electron reduction of oxygen by ferrocene derivatives and vinylogous Fridel-crafts alkylation of indoles and pyrrole in water. It is involved in the Mukaiyama aldol addition and stereochemically catalyzes the radical polymerization of acrylates. It acts as a Lewis acid catalyst and used in the synthesis of bullvalone via a stabilized sulfur ylide.

Scandium triflate (Scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate) can be prepared from the corresponding oxide (Sc2O3) and aqueous trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH). After filtration and concentration of the clear aqueous solution in vacuo, the resulting hydrated salt is dried in vacuo (<1 mmHg) at 200°C for 40 h to afford the anhydrous triflate stored over P2O5.
