Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (CAS: 1493-13-6), with formula CF3SO3H, is a superacid synthesized via sulfonation of trifluoromethane. It serves as a critical catalyst in organic synthesis due to its exceptional proton-donating capability.
Strictly corrosive; requires acid-resistant storage vessels. Personnel must utilize full PPE including face shields and chemical-resistant gloves to prevent severe tissue damage upon contact.
