2,2,2- Trifluoroethyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate

2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (also known as 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl triflate) is a highly reactive organofluorine compound primarily used as a powerful trifluoroethylating agent in organic synthesis. It is prized for its ability to seamlessly add the CF₃CH₂ group to functional molecules, dramatically altering their pharmaceutical and material properties. [1, 2, 3, 4]
