Application

Tetrabutylammonium bisulfate (Bu4NHSO4) can be used as a reagent along with potassium fluoride dihydrate to synthesize β-fluoro amine derivatives by the ring-opening reaction of aziridines. It may also be utilized as a catalyst in the hydrolysis of aziridines and epoxides to corresponding β-amino alcohols and 1,2-diols, respectively.

A simple monomeric tungstate, TBA(2)[WO(4)] (I, TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium), could act as an efficient homogeneous catalyst for chemical fixation of CO(2) with 2-aminobenzonitriles to quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones. Various kinds of structurally diverse 2-aminobenzonitriles could be converted into the corresponding quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in high
