Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, commonly known as AgOTf, is a versatile silver(I) salt with the molecular formula C F3 O3 S Ag and CAS number 2907-14-6. It serves as a potent source of electrophilic silver in organic synthesis, facilitating trifluoromethylation and acting as a mild Lewis acid catalyst.
Store in a cool, dry place away from light to prevent decomposition. Avoid direct skin contact due to potential irritation and photosensitivity. Do not ingest; handle under inert atmosphere to maintain stability.
