CAS 12070-78-9: Ethanamine, tetrafluoroborate(1-) (1:1)

Description:Ethanamine, tetrafluoroborate(1-) (1:1), also known as ethylamine tetrafluoroborate, is an ionic compound characterized by the presence of the ethylamine cation and the tetrafluoroborate anion. The ethylamine portion consists of a two-carbon amine, which contributes to its basicity and nucleophilicity, making it reactive in various chemical processes. The tetrafluoroborate anion, derived from boron trifluoride, is a stable and non-coordinating anion that enhances the solubility of the compound in polar solvents. This substance is typically encountered as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and other polar solvents. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis, as a reagent in chemical reactions, or in the preparation of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to its amine component. Overall, ethanamine tetrafluoroborate is notable for its unique combination of properties stemming from both its cationic and anionic components.
