Zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate or zinc triflate is the zinc salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. It is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst, e.g. in silylations.[1]

A white powder, zinc triflate is commercially available, though some workers have experienced inconsistent results with zinc triflate from different sources.[2][3] If desired, it may be prepared from reacting trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with zinc metal in acetonitrile,[4] or with zinc carbonate in methanol:[5]

Zn + 2 HOTf → Zn(OTf)2 + H2
ZnCO3 + 2 HOTf → Zn(OTf)2 + H2O + CO2 (OTf = CF3SO2)
