TETRAETHYLAMMONIUM FLUORIDE HYDRATE - Introduction
Tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate is an organic salt with the chemical formula (C2H5)4NF · xH2O, where x is the number of water molecules in the crystal. It is colorless crystals, soluble in water and organic solvents.
Tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate are often used as strong bases in organic synthesis and have corresponding strong alkalinity. It can react with acids to form the corresponding fluoride salts. The compound is used as a base catalyst, a solvent, an ionic liquid component, or the like in organic synthesis. It can also be used to prepare organometallic compounds as catalysts or solvents for non-aqueous systems.
Preparation of Tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate is usually obtained by reacting tetraethyl ammonia bromide with sodium fluoride. Tetraethylammonium bromide is first reacted with hydrofluoric acid hydrate to give an indirect precursor of tetraethylammonium fluoride. After crystallization and drying, the Tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate is obtained.
When using Tetraethylammonium fluoride hydrate, appropriate safety precautions should be taken. It is a strong alkali, and contact with skin and eyes may cause burns. Therefore, protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn during operation. In addition, avoid inhaling its dust or solution and avoid prolonged exposure to the substance. If accidentally ingestion, should immediately gastric lavage and medical treatment. During storage, it should be kept in a dry, cool and ventilated place, separated from other substances.
