Methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, also commonly called methyl triflate and abbreviated MeOTf, is the organic compound with the formula CF3SO2OCH3. It is a colourless liquid which finds use in organic chemistry as a powerful methylating agent. The compound is closely related to methyl fluorosulfonate. Although there has yet to be a reported human fatality, several cases were reported for methyl fluorosulfonate = 5 ppm], and methyl triflate is expected to have similar toxicity based on available evidence.
