General description
Tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate is a mild base used in reactions like aldol-type condensation reactions, Michael-type reactions, ring-opening reactions. Its is also used as a promoter in cross-coupling reactions and cyclization of carbocycles and heterocycles.
Application
Reactant for:
Preparation of deprotecting agents in preparation of cellulose derivatives
Synthesis of lipophilic peptides for DNA transfections in vivo
Dehydrobromination reactions
Preparation of deprotecting agents in preparation of cellulose derivatives
Synthesis of lipophilic peptides for DNA transfections in vivo
Dehydrobromination reactions
Tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate can be used as a base:
It can be used to catalyze ethynylation of quinolines and isoquinolines using calcium carbide in aqueous N,N-dimethylacetamide.
- For the dehydrobromination of vinyl bromides to terminal acetylenes.
- In the conversion of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes to terminal alkynes via Corey–Fuchs reaction.
- In Hiyama cross-coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides with aryltrialkoxysilanes in the presence of a palladium catalyst.
It can be used to catalyze ethynylation of quinolines and isoquinolines using calcium carbide in aqueous N,N-dimethylacetamide.
