Claims
- 1. A process for making a homogeneous solution of nitronium trifluoromethanesulfonate comprising reacting trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride with anhydrous nitric acid in an anhydrous solvent to thereby provide said homogeneous solution of nitronium trifluoromethanesulfonate which is free of hydronium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
- 2. The process of claim 1 in which the anhydrous solvent is dichloromethane.
