Application

  • Used as an etchant for silica films

Reactant for:
  • Nucleophilic fluorination
  • Ring-opening fluorination reaction
  • Substitution reactions
Tetrabutylammonium hydrogen difluoride (TBABF) can be used as a reagent:
  • For the conversion of aromatic boronic acids and esters into corresponding tetrabutylammonium trifluoroborate salts. These salts are utilized as surrogates of boronic acids in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
  • In the nucleophilic fluorination of organic halides, tosylates, and triflates.
  • For the regioselective synthesis of fluorohydrins by ring-opening of terminal epoxides.
