Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, also known as triflic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CF3SO2)2O. It is the acid anhydride derived from triflic acid. This compound is a strong electrophile, useful for introducing the triflyl group, CF3SO2. Abbreviated Tf2O, triflic anhydride is the acid anhydride of the superacid triflic acid, CF3SO2OH.[2][3]

Preparation and uses

Triflic anhydride is prepared by dehydration of triflic acid using P4O10.[2]

Triflic anhydride is useful for converting ketones into enol triflates.[4]

In a representative application, is used to convert an imine into a NTf group.[5] It will convert phenols into a triflic ester, which enables cleavage of the C-O bond.[6][7]

Assay

The typical impurity in triflic anhydride is triflic acid, which is also a colorless liquid. Samples of triflic anhydride can be assayed by 19F NMR spectroscopy: −72.6 ppm[8] vs. −77.3 for TfOH (std CFCl3).

Safety

It is an aggressive electrophile and readily hydrolyzes to the strong acid triflic acid. It is very harmful to skin and eyes.[9]
