General description
Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate is a strong methylating reagent, commonly used for the pre-methylation of polysaccharides under mild basic conditions.
Application
Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate can be used as a methylation reagent:
- In the determination of polysulfides, zerovalent sulfur in sulfide-rich water wells, and polysulfide species in electrolyte of a lithium–sulfur battery using chromatography-based techniques.
- In reactions with potassium enolates.
- For the conversion of amines to methyl ammonium triflates.
