CAS 2926-27-4: Potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate

Potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of organofluorine compounds. It has been shown to be an excellent hydrogen bond acceptor, which is the most important factor for its application in water vapor detection. Potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate has been used as an enhancement agent in analytical chemistry. It has also been used as a fluorescence detector and in x-ray crystal structure determination studies. The reaction mechanism of potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate is not yet known with certainty, but it is likely that the protonated amide form of potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate reacts with light emission from an organic dye, producing a fluorescent product.

Potassium trifluoromethanesulfonate is used as a reagent in the synthesis of guanine-quadruplex hybrid materials. It acts as a supporting electrolyte in the electrochemical study of evidence for gold anion in ethylenediamine. It is involved in the preparation of N-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium triflate by reacting with 2,4,6-trimethyl-pyridine. Further, it is used in the preparation of imidazolium salt, 3-methyl-1-(3R,3aR,6S,6aR)-[6-(benzyloxy)-hexahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-3-yl]imidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
