Tetrabutylammonium fluoride hydrate is known to be a source of F− anion, used in nucleophilic fluorination reactions. It can be made anhydrous typically by heating it around 40 °C under vacuum.
Application
Tetrabutylammonium fluoride is a reagent in organic syntheses in addition, condensation, base-catalyzed cyclization reactions, fluorination and desulfonylation reactions and as a deprotecting agent. Typically dried prior to use. It is a catalyst for etherification of alcohols and phenols with alkyl halides Catalyst for benzylation reactions.
Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride is a reactant used for the synthesis of multiple compounds, including conjugated dienoic acid esters, oligoribonucleotides with phosphonate-modified linkages, and triple monoamine reuptake inhibitors, among others. It has proven useful in studying cancer, diabetes, and neurochemistry.
It is the reactant for preparation of:
• Double clathrate hydrates at high pressures
• Cellulose ethers
• Terminal olefins via dehydrohalogenation reactions
• Neutral and zwitterionic 3-carboranyl thymidine analogues for boron neutron capture therapy
Tetrabutylammonium fluoride hydrate can be used:
• To prepare 2,7-diethynyl-9-propyl-9H-carbazole, which is a key intermediate for the synthesis of calix[4]arene−carbazole polymers.
• As an anion source in the study of selective detection of F− by anion receptor viz Schiff base.
• To prepare terminal olefins from primary alkyl iodides.
