Description

Ethyl 4-(Trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)benzoate (CAS No. 125261-30-5) is a high-purity synthetic organic compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₉F₃O₅S. This ester derivative of benzoic acid features a trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy (-OSO₂CF₃) group at the para position, making it a valuable triflate (trifluoromethanesulfonate) reagent for advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. The compound is supplied as a crystalline solid or in solution, with rigorous QC ensuring >98% purity (HPLC). Its unique structure enables versatile reactivity in cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic substitutions, and as a precursor for functionalized aromatic systems. Ideal for Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck, and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions. Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis.

Application

This triflate ester serves as a key electrophile in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions for constructing biaryl systems in drug discovery. The electron-withdrawing triflyloxy group enhances reactivity in SNAr reactions with amines and thiols. Researchers utilize it to introduce para-ester functionalization in materials science applications, particularly in liquid crystal and polymer synthesis. Its stability allows for storage as a bench-stable coupling partner.
