General description

Scandium(III) triflate is an extremely active, efficient, recoverable and reusable acylation catalyst.[1] Its an important catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts acylation, Diels-Alder reactions and other carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions.[2] It also stereochemically catalyzes the radical polymerization of acrylates.[3] Scandium(III) triflate complex of (4′S,5′S)-2,6-bis[4′-(triisopropylsilyl)oxymethyl-5′-phenyl-1′,3′-oxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine has been employed as catalyst for the asymmetric Friedel-Crafts reaction between substituted indoles and methyl (E)-2-oxo-4-aryl-3-butenoates.[4]

Application

Scandium(III) triflate was used as a catalyst in:
  • Hydrothiolation reaction of aromatic and aliphatic thiols.[5]
  • Selective two-electron reduction of O2 by ferrocene derivatives.[6]
  • Vinylogous Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles and pyrroles in water.[7]
  • Synthesis of β-cyanoketones.[8]
  • Combination with triethylsilane to reductively open functionalized pyranoside rings.[9]
  • The key steps of synthesis of bullvalone via a stabilized sulfur ylide.[10]

Oligosubstituted bullvalones were synthesized in eight steps from 2,6-cycloheptadienone via a unique Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation of a stabilized sulfur ylide, leading directly to the tetracyclic cage structure. Upon exposure to base, the substituted bullvalones tautomerized to a hydroxybullvalene

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
