Tetrabutylammonium tetra(tert-butyl alcohol)-coordinated fluoride as a facile fluoride source

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

(Figure Presented) F- on: The title compound TBAF(tBuOH) 4 can act as a highly effective fluoride source for nucleophilic fluorination thanks to its favorable properties, such as a stable structure (in which the fluoride ion is surrounded by four bulky nonpolar protic alcohol molecules), a dehydrated state, low hygroscopicity, good solubility in organic solvents, good nucleophilicity, and low basicity.
