Abstract

Trimethylsilyl triflate is a powerful silylating agent for organic compounds and acts as a catalyst which accelerates a variety of nucleophilic reactions in aprotic media. The reactions proceed via one-center, electrophilic coordination of the silyl group to hetero functional groups and exhibit unique selectivities.
