Fluorosulfonate in organic chemistry is a functional group that has the chemical formula F-SO2-O-R and typically is a very good leaving group. In inorganic chemistry fluorosulfonate is the anion F-SO2-O- the conjugated base of fluorosulfonic acid.Organic (alkyl) fluorosulfonates are usually strong alkylation agents similar to triflate esters (F3C-SO2-OR). But unlike the triflate group the fluorosulfonate group is not stable against hydrolysis.
