Route of Synthesis (ROS)

Route of Synthesis (ROS) of Triphenylsulfonium, 2-hydroxybenzoate (11) CAS# 345580-99-6
Route of Synthesis (ROS) of Triphenylsulfonium, 2-hydroxybenzoate (11) CAS# 345580-99-6
ConditionsYield
With sodium hydrogencarbonate In water at 20℃; for 1.16667h;
Experimental Procedure
Synthesis of Sulfonium Salt D-1
Pure water was added to 10.0 g (72.4 mmol) of salicylic acid and 6.1 g (72.4 mmol) of sodium bicarbonate, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. Then, 21.6 g (72.4 mmol) of triphenylsulfonium chloride was added. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the layers were separated, and the resulting organic layer was washed with pure water. The solvent was then removed using a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude product. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 27.2 g (94% yield) of the desired product (sulfonium salt D-1).

Use Pattern
I. Core Function: Photoacid Generator (PAG)
This compound is a triphenylsulfonium salt-based photoacid generator (PAG). Under UV or deep-UV (DUV) irradiation:
It absorbs light and undergoes photolytic cleavage
Generates a strong acid
The generated acid can catalyze chemically amplified reactions or initiate subsequent cationic polymerization. It is a key functional additive in photoresist and cationic photopolymer curing systems.
II. Main Application Areas
1. Semiconductor Photoresists (Chemically Amplified Photoresists, CARs)
Applicable to:
i-line, KrF, and ArF lithography systems
High-resolution chemically amplified photoresists
Main functions:
Acid generation upon exposure
Catalyzes deprotection reactions
Amplifies exposure effects → improves resolution, sensitivity, and critical dimension / line edge roughness (CD/LER) control
Advantages of the ortho-hydroxybenzoate structure:
Provides good photosensitivity
Reduces acid diffusion, improving resolution
Works synergistically with the triphenylsulfonium cation → good thermal stability and stable photoresist performance
2. Cationic Photocuring Systems
Used in UV-induced cationic curing of epoxy resins and vinyl ether systems
UV irradiation → acid generation → initiates cationic ring-opening polymerization or crosslinking
Applications include:
UV-curable coatings and inks
Electronic encapsulation materials
Photo-patternable insulating layers (e.g., PSPI, PI)
