Reaction Steps

A further 49.15 g (0.328 mol) of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, 46.10 g (0.328 mol) of benzoyl chloride and 29.49 g (0.328 mol) of dimethyl carbonate are added to the distillation residue with stirring. The reaction mixture is subsequently heated at 90° C. using an oil bath (temperature in the oil bath) for 6 hours, giving 52.00 g (yield: 96.8%) of pure methyl triflate by distillation.
