| Application: | Tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate may be used in the following studies: • As supporting electrolyte in the voltammetric determination of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ(9)-THC). • Synthesis of biologically relevant macrolactones, Sansalvamide A. • As supporting electrolyte in the determination of the oxidation and reduction potentials of 5,10,15,20-tetra[3-(3-tri • Preparation of 1:1 adduct with 1,10-phenanthroline. • Used to prepare other tetrabutylammonium salts in aqueous solutions. • As electrolyte additive in the synthesis of conducting poly(thiophenes). |
| General description: | Tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate is used as an electrolyte for the series of arylketone synthesis. Tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) is a phase transfer catalyst. It can be synthesized by the reaction between 30% aqueous solution of tetrafluoroboric acid and 40% aqueous solution of tetrabutylamonium hydroxide. Tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate acts as an electrolyte and inhibits the self-assembly of alkylthiosulfate on gold. |
