Ytterbium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate is a cationic polymerization catalyst that is used for the allylation and methyl ketones, amines, receptor activity, kinetic and epoxides reactions. It is also used as a reagent in structural analysis of polymers. Ytterbium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate can be synthesized by reacting ytterbium oxide with hydrogen fluoride and chloroform in methanol. The resulting product is purified by sublimation under vacuum. Ytterbium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, ethers and acetone. This compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of cells in culture by acting on surface receptors that are involved in cell proliferation and migration. Ytterbium (III) trifluor

Stability Hygroscopic Applications Ytterbium(III) Trifluoromethanesulfonate functions as a catalyst in the organic synthesis of heterocycles. Also functions as a Lewis acid in variety of organic reactions. References Sakhuja, R., et al.: Synthesis, 48, 4305 92016); Molander, G.
