Tetraethylammonium fluoride

Description:
Tetraethylammonium fluoride (TEAF) is an organic compound with the formula (C2H5)4NF. It is a quaternary ammonium salt, characterized by a central nitrogen atom bonded to four ethyl groups and a fluoride ion. TEAF is typically encountered as a white crystalline solid, which is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols. The compound exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. TEAF is known for its use as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a source of fluoride ions in various chemical reactions. Its quaternary ammonium structure imparts unique properties, including the ability to act as a phase transfer catalyst in certain reactions. However, it should be handled with care due to the potential toxicity associated with quaternary ammonium compounds and the corrosive nature of fluoride ions. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with TEAF in a laboratory setting.
