Ma. Harmer et al., UNIQUE SILANE MODIFIED PERFLUOROSULFONIC ACIDS AS VERSATILE REAGENTS FOR NEW SOLID ACID CATALYSTS, Chemical communications, (18), 1997, pp. 1803-1804
A new versatile reagent, a perfluorosulfonate/trisilanol [(OH)(3)Si(CH
2)(3)(CF2)(2)O(CF2)(2)SO3-M+], is synthesized and a series of surface
bound strong solid acid catalysts developed which are active for catal
yzing a range of reactions, for example alkene isomerization, alkylati
ons and acylations.
