Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate

Description:
Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is a chemical compound with the formula [(C2H5)3O]+[BF4]−. It is an ionic salt composed of a triethyloxonium cation and a tetrafluoroborate anion. This compound is typically encountered as a colorless, hygroscopic solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is known for its strong electrophilic properties, making it a useful reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of ethers and in various alkylation reactions. The tetrafluoroborate anion contributes to the stability of the compound, while the triethyloxonium cation is a potent source of ethyl groups. Due to its reactivity, it should be handled with care, as it can react vigorously with nucleophiles. Additionally, it is important to note that the compound may release toxic gases upon decomposition, necessitating appropriate safety precautions during its use and storage.
