Potassium fluoride dihydrate may be used in the following processes:
As a source of active fluoride ion when used in combination with tetra-n-butylammonium chloride.[1]
To generate tetrabutylammonium fluoride in situ by reacting with tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate, which can catalyze the esterification of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides[2] and ring-opening of aziridines.[3]
In combination with chlorotrimethylsilane for the desilylation of O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers.[4]
Convenient source of 'naked'fluoride: tetra-n-butylammonium chloride and potassium fluoride dihydrate.
