Tetrabutylammonium cyanide can be used as a catalyst:
For the deprotection of aliphatic thioacetate to synthesize free thiols in the presence of a protic solvent[1].
In the O-TMS cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds to synthesize cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN)[2].
For the ring expansion of β-lactams to synthesize γ-lactams through a bond cleavage of the β-lactam in the presence of acetonitrile[3].
Tetrabutylammonium cyanide (20 mol %) catalyzes ring expansion of 4-(arylimino)methylazetidin-2-ones 2 to 5-aryliminopyrrolidin-2-ones 3 through a novel N1-C4 bond cleavage of the beta-lactam nucleus. New, efficient one-pot protocols to enantiopure succinimide derivatives 3 and 4 from beta-lactam aldehydes 1 have

In this study, by using tetrabutylammonium bisulfate as ion-pairing reagent, we were able to separate all the main heparin/heparan sulfate disaccharides generated by the action of heparinases along with the main Hep tetrasaccharide possessing a 3-O-sulfate group on the sulfoglucosamine
