Application

Reactant for:
  • Preparation of building blocks for synthesis of fluoroallylic compounds
  • Synthesis of alcohols via hydrolysis of alkyl silyl ethers at neutral pH in buffered mixed organic-aqueous solutions
  • Nucleophilic fluorination of alkynyliodonium salts to form fluorovinylic compounds
  • Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions
Used in the successful synthesis of a single-crystal Dion-Jacobson phase, CsLaTa2O7, that has applications in photocatalysis and superconductivity.
Used as a base in a Suzuki cross-coupling synthesis of ortho-substituted biaryls. Also employed as a reagent for nucleophilic fluorination of primary halides and sulfonates in protic media such as tert-butyl and tert-pentyl alcohols.

Aprotic solvents are usually preferred for the SN2 reactions, because nucleophilicity and hence SN2 reactivity are severely retarded by the influence of the partial positive charge of protic solvents. In this work, we introduce a remarkable effect of using tertiary

A variety of oximes were synthesized from the corresponding alcohols, alkyl halides, or alkyl sulfonates without using external oxidants. With this simple two-step procedure involving substitution with readily available TsNHOTBS and subsequent treatment with CsF, a range of oximes were

An ion-pair receptor, 1, containing both cation- and anion-recognizing sites, has been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural studies and (1)H NMR spectroscopic analyses confirmed that 1 forms stable 1:1 complexes with CsF in solution and in the solid
