Iron powder is dissolved in an aqueous solution containing a stoichiometric amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in a dry reactor. This process generally requires heating to proceed effectively. After the reaction is complete, the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature. Upon cooling, a green crystalline precipitate is slowly observed to form in the reaction system. The precipitate in the reaction mixture is filtered and then air-dried to obtain the target product molecule, IRON(II) TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONATE. This substance is sensitive to moisture and generally needs to be stored in a sealed, dry environment.
Ferrous Trifluoromethanesulfonate (II) is an off-white to brown solid powder at room temperature and pressure, with strong hygroscopicity, which can be used to catalyze the Michael addition reaction of thiol compounds to unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
Iron(II) Trifluoromethanesulfonate acts as a catalyst for hydrosilylation and hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes to give silane and borane adducts. Reagent in the preparation of organometallic inhibitors of UFM1-activating enzymes UBAS.
This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.
