Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) is an organosilicon compound with the formula (CH
3)
3SiO
3SCF
3. It is a colorless moisture-sensitive liquid. It is the trifluoromethanesulfonate derivative of trimethylsilyl.[1] It is mainly used to activate ketones and aldehydes in organic synthesis.
Reactions
TMSOTf is quite sensitive toward hydrolysis:
- (CH
3)
3SiO
3SCF
3 + H
2O → (CH
3)
3SiOH + HO
3SCF
3
It is far more electrophilic than trimethylsilyl chloride.
Related to its tendency to hydrolyze, TMSOTf is effective for silylation of alcohols:[2]
- (CH
3)
3SiO
3SCF
3 + ROH + Et
3N → ROSi(CH
3)
3Si + [Et
3NH]O
3SCF
3
A common use of (CH
3)
3SiO
3SCF
3 is for the preparation of silyl enol ethers.[3][4] One example involves the synthesis of the silyl enol ether of camphor:
It was also used in Takahashi Taxol total synthesis and in chemical glycosylation reactions.[5]
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate has a variety of other specialized uses. It has been used to install tert-alkyl groups on phosphine (R = alkyl):[6]
- PH3 + R3C–OAc + Me3SiOTf → [(R3C)2PH2]OTf
Deprotection of Boc-protected amines can be achieved using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and triethylamine or 2,6-lutidine.[7][8]
TMSOTf is also a useful reagent to replace metal-halogen bonds with a covalent M-O(SO2CF3) bond, the by-product being the highly volatile TMSCl which is easily removed.
