New strong Br?nsted acids derived from a squaric acid scaffold bearing different perfluoroalkanesulfonyl groups have been developed and applied to several organic reactions. These squaramides are bench-stable and exhibit much higher reactivities in several organic reactions than squaric acid itself. N,N-Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)squaramide 2a was applied to the Mukaiyama aldol reaction and Mukaiyama Michael reaction. Mechanistic studies revealed that the Br?nsted acid might be the predominant catalyst through direct protonation of carbonyl compound by the acid itself rather than the silylated Br?nsted acid. The utility of this acid 2a was further extended to Hosomi-Sakurai allylation of aldehydes and a carbonyl-ene reaction. Furthermore, other squaramides 2b and c bearing longer perfluoroalkyl chains have been developed, which are also bench-stable and displayed similar reactivities with squaramide 2a in several organic reactions.

Bis-N-trifluoromethanesulfonyl squaramide was prepared as a new bench-stable strong Br?nsted acid and applied to the Br?nsted acid-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol and Michael reactions with silyl enol ethers. The resulting Mukaiyama aldol products of aldehydes
