Scandium(III) Trifluoromethanesulfonate CAS 144026-79-9 Purity >98.0% (Chelometric Titration) Scandium >9.0%

Scandium(III) Trifluoromethanesulfonate, also known as Scandium(III) Triflate, (CAS: 144026-79-9) is an extremely active, efficient, recoverable and reusable acylation catalyst. Its an important catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts acylation, Diels-Alder reactions and other carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. It also stereochemically catalyzes the radical polymerization of acrylates. Scandium(III) Trifluoromethanesulfonate is widely used as a catalyst in hydrothiolation, selective two-electron reduction of oxygen by ferrocene derivatives and vinylogous Fridel-crafts alkylation of indoles and pyrrole in water. It is involved in the Mukaiyama aldol addition and stereochemically catalyzes the radical polymerization of acrylates. It acts as a Lewis acid catalyst and used in the synthesis of bullvalone via a stabilized sulfur ylide. Reactions: Water tolerant Lewis acid. Commonly used in a range of Lewis acid catalyzed reactions. Efficient metal source for Lewis acid catalyzed asymmetric reactions. Catalyzes Friedel-Crafts alkylation, acylation and related reactions. Catalyzes various domino- and multi-component processes. Catalyzes electrophilic additions of alpha-diazoesters with ketones. Catalyzes carbon insertion reactions.
