Alcohol to Triflate
Common Conditions:
Tf2O
The formation of triflates with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf2O) is usually accomplished with a base (ex. TEA or pyridine), in a solvent such as DCM, with cooling or at RT.[1]
Tf2NPh
N-Phenylbis(trifluoromethanesufonimide) (TF2NPh) is a milder triflating reagent than Tf2O. In certain cases it can provide better selectivity.
