Suzuki-type coupling of the triflate with various arylboronic acids gives biaryl derivatives: Tetrahedron, 45, 6679 (1984). For an example of Stille coupling of the triflate with an arylstannane, catalyzed by trans-Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), 10491, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 9, 553 (1998).• Forms active esters with N-protected amino acids, useful in peptide synthesis; see, for example: J. Org. Chem., 62, 1356 (1997). For peptide reagents, see Appendix 6.
• Acid-base indicator: pH 5.6 - 7.6.
