Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of the first trifluoromethanesulfonate esters of the type CF 3 SO 3 (CH 2) n O 3 SCF 3 (n= 1, 2, 3) are reported. The new compounds are prepared from Cl (CH 2) n Cl by substitutive electrophilic dehalogenation reactions with CF 3 SO 2 OX (x= Cl, Br). The extension of this reaction to HCCl 3 results in HC (O 3 SCF 3) 3 but the compound is unstable at 22.
