Application

Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate can be used:
  • To prepare amino esters by reacting with lactams followed by hydrolysis.
  • In the preparation of substituted imidazolines from aziridines and nitriles via [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction.
  • For the N-alkylation of a series of N-arylsulfonyl-α-amino acid methyl esters having variable substituents at 4th position of the sulfonamide aromatic ring.
