General description

Cesium fluoride is an inorganic compound known to be a source of fluoride ion and a catalyst in organic synthesis. It has been used in many organic reactions like 1,4−elimination, desilylation, transesterification, acylation, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, etherification, cross−coupling reactions and so on.

Application

Cesium fluoride can be used as:
A base in the Suzuki cross-coupling synthesis of ortho-substituted biaryls.
A reagent for the nucleophilic fluorination of primary halides and sulfonates in protic media such as tert-butyl and tert-pentyl alcohols.
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.
For general uses, product is also available in powdered form (198323)

Features and Benefits

ChemBeads are chemical coated glass beads. ChemBeads offer improved flowability and chemical uniformity perfect for automated solid dispensing and high-throughput experimentation. The method of creating ChemBeads uses no other chemicals or surfactants allowing the user to accurately dispense sub-milligram amounts of chemical.

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

Treatment of a benzyl substituted meso-ditriflate with boronic acids in the presence of palladium acetate, triphenylphosphine and caesium fluoride results in intermolecular Suzuki coupling followed by vinyl triflate-arene cyclisation to provide, in high yields, single regioisomers of tricyclic-carbocycles.

The structures, stabilities, thermodynamic quantities, dissociation energies, infrared spectra, and electronic properties of CsF hydrated by water molecules are investigated by using density functional theory, Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2), coupled cluster theory with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples excitations

A highly efficient and rapid total synthesis of 9Z-retinoic acid was accomplished by caesium fluoride-promoted Stille coupling reaction; using a common building block, 9Z-retinoic acid analogues were also prepared by the same method without isomerisation of the Z-double bond.

Phosphate esters in polyhydroxylated systems are normally blighted by uncontrolled migration under a variety of reaction conditions. Cesium fluoride is demonstrated as a reagent to control migration of primary phosphates during transesterifications. This allows easy exchange of phosphoryl protecting groups
