Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (AgOTf ) is a reactive triflating agent, which converts alkyl, acyl and sulfonyl halides to corresponding triflate species.[1][2]
It is a highly suitable electrophile to initiate acetylenic oxy-Cope rearrangement of substituted 5-hexen-1-yn-3-ols to synthesize corresponding α,δ-diethylenic aldehydes.[3]
It can also be used in the diastereoselective cyclization of amino ketenes where the diastereoselectivity depends on Ag(I) concentration.[4]
The Transition State (TS) for any chemical glycosylation reaction is not known with certainty. Both experimental and computational approaches have been limited due to the complexity of the problem. This work describes a preliminary computational ionization approach using density functional
