Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate or zinc triflate is the zinc salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. It is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst, e.g. in silylations. [1]
A white powder, zinc triflate is commercially available, though some workers have experienced inconsistent results with zinc triflate from different sources. [2] [3] If desired, it may be prepared from reacting trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with zinc metal in acetonitrile, [4] or with zinc carbonate in methanol: [5]
