Scandium Triflate (Cat No.:R035810) is a highly effective Lewis acid catalyst used in organic synthesis. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar organic solvents and water. Known for its thermal and chemical stability, scandium triflate promotes a wide range of reactions, including Friedel–Crafts alkylations, Diels–Alder cycloadditions, and glycosylations, often under mild conditions. Its non-coordinating triflate anions enhance catalytic activity without interfering with reaction pathways. Widely used in green chemistry, it offers recyclability, low toxicity, and efficiency, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and fine chemical synthesis.
