Application
Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate can be used:
- To prepare amino esters by reacting with lactams followed by hydrolysis.
- In the preparation of substituted imidazolines from aziridines and nitriles via [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction.
- For the N-alkylation of a series of N-arylsulfonyl-α-amino acid methyl esters having variable substituents at 4th position of the sulfonamide aromatic ring.
Other Notes
