Uses
Bismuth(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate is powerful Lewis acid useful in a number of catalytic reactions.
Chemical Properties
White powder
Uses
Catalyzes direct substitution of allylic, propargylic, and benzylic alcohols with sulfonamides, carbamates, and carboxamides.
Uses
Bismuth(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate acts as a catalyst in Friedel-Crafts acylation and cycloisomerization of allene-enol ethers. It behaves as a direct substitution catalyst and involved in the substitution of allylic, propargylic, and benzylic alcohols with sulfonamides, carboxamides and carbamates. Further, it is also used in Mukaiyama aldol reactions.
Uses
Catalyst for organic syntheses.
