It is a colourless liquid that is a very powerful (and very dangerous) methylating reagent in chemistry.〔Roger W. Alder, Justin G. E. Phillips, Lijun Huang, Xuefei Huang, "Methyltrifluoromethanesulfonate" Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis 2005 John Wiley & Sons, 〕 ==Reactivity== The compound hydrolyzes violently upon contact with water: :CF3SO2OCH3 + H2O → CF3SO2OH + CH3OH This compound is closely related to methyl fluorosulfonate (FSO2OCH3), which is an older and less common reagent. These compounds alkylate faster and with wider range of substrates than traditional methylating agents such as methyl iodide. One ranking of alkylating agents is (CH3)3O+ > CF3SO2OCH3 ~ FSO2OCH3 > (CH3)2SO4> CH3I. It will alkylate many functional groups that are only weakly basic such as aldehydes, amides, and nitriles. It does not methylate benzene or the bulky 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine.〔 Its ability to methylate N-heterocycles is exploited in certain deprotection schemes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Methyl trifluoromethansulfonate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
