TRIMETHYLSILYLFLUOROSULFONATE (TMSOFs): AN ALTERNATIVE TO TMS TRIFLATE AS A SOURCE OF Me3Si+

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)77474-0

Generation of trimethylsilylfluorosulfonate in situ provides a useful source of TMS⁺, the reactivity of which is essentially equivalent to that of TMS triflate.Its precursors, in particular FSO3H, are less costly than those of TMSOTf or the reagent itself.
