Product Information

• Name: Nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate (NTBF) is a sodium salt that has been shown to be an oxidation catalyst. NTBF reacts with diazonium salt to produce a nitro group and a tetrafluoroborate anion. The mechanism of the reaction is not well understood, but it is thought to involve the formation of a methyl glycoside intermediate. Nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate can also react with metal carbonyls such as ferrocene, producing hydrogen fluoride and inorganic acid. In vitro synthesis of NTBF starts with the reaction of hydrogen fluoride with potassium bicarbonate or ammonium carbonate.
