A trifle of triflyl : N ‐substituted anilines react with 1,1,3,3‐tetrakis(triflyl)propane to give a 2,2‐bis(triflyl)ethyl group at the para position of the ring. The product is a zwitterion with a carbanion and an ammonium moiety, and can be used as an acid catalyst for organic reactions (see scheme).
