Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate acts as a lewis acid in nucleophilic addition and as a catalyst in aldol reactions.

Application

  • Initiating a high-temperature zinc ion battery through a triazolium-based ionic liquid: This study explores the use of zinc trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in ionic liquid for high-temperature zinc ion batteries, demonstrating significant improvements in conductivity and stability. (Li et al., 2022).
  • Enhancing the solubility of 6-mercaptopurine by formation of ionic cocrystal with zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate: The research focuses on improving the solubility of 6-mercaptopurine by forming ionic cocrystals with zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, resulting in single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation. (Yao et al., 2014).
  • Spontaneous desaturation of the solvation sheath for high-performance anti-freezing zinc-ion gel-electrolyte: This paper discusses the development of a high-performance anti-freezing zinc-ion gel-electrolyte using zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, which shows excellent performance even at low temperatures. (Li et al., 2023).

An unexpected silver triflate-catalyzed tandem reaction of N'-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazide with ketene through 6-endo-cyclization, [3+2] cycloaddition and rearrangement is reported. This reaction proceeds efficiently to generate the molecular complexity with the formation of four bonds in a one-pot procedure.
