The acidity range of triflic acid monohydrate was determined using the electrochemical function Ro(H) = -12.It was found to be intermediate between that of aqueous acid media and superacids.In this solvent, alkanes oxidise into R+ carbenium ions by a bielectron exchange; the electrochemical system is slow and, as for aqueous media, the diffusion wave takes place after the alkane adsorption on the electrode.Alkenes are first protonated into R+ ions which then react on the solvent; R+ is disproportionated into alkane and carbonyl.The electrochemical oxidation observed corresponds to that of the ensuing alkane.
