Description

Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate is a chemical reagent that is used in organic synthesis. It is a strong Lewis acid that reacts with substrates to form adducts. Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate reacts with trifluoroacetic acid, ethylene diamine, and hydrogen fluoride to produce the salt tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate dihydrate (TBAPF). The reaction proceeds through an ionic intermediate that involves the abstraction of a proton from the substrate by the tetrabutylammonium cation followed by nucleophilic attack on the anion by water. Tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate dihydrate can be formed via this mechanism as well as through a simple salt metathesis reaction between TBAPF and sodium carbonate. This reagent has been shown to form crystals of good quality for
