CAS 189114-61-2: Sliver bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide)

Silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide is used in the extraction of C5 - C8 linear alfa olefins using its silver salt to form room temperature ionic liquids. Further, it is utilized for the separation of olefins from paraffins. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Silver bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide

Silver Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (AgOTf) is a compound that reacts with hydroxyl groups in the presence of silver ions to form AgOH. It is used in the synthesis of prenylated compounds and as an anticancer agent. The mechanism of AgOTf is not well known, but it has been proposed that the reaction proceeds through a nucleophilic substitution at the carbon atom with the hydroxyl group. In this process, a chloride ion is eliminated from the molecule. Silver Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide can be used to create methyl ketones by reacting with an alkyne in the presence of sodium carbonate and carbonyl compounds such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone.
