Abstract
In recent years scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3] has emerged as an efficient, mild, commercially available, inexpensive, water tolerant Lewis acidic catalyst in the formation of both carboncarbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, and thereby the formation of various biologically promising organic compounds. The present review summarizes the latest developments on Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed organic transformations especially carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions reported during the last decade.
