Triflic Acid (CAS 75-77-4, CF3SO3H) is a superacid defined by its extreme protonating power and non-nucleophilic character. Produced via fluorination of sulfur trioxide, it serves as a critical catalyst in organic synthesis.
Strictly corrosive; requires acid-resistant containment (PTFE/Tantalum). Store in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from organics. Personnel must utilize full PPE including face shields and chemical suits to prevent severe burns.
