Tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate is a common reagent in organic chemistry, often used as a source of fluoride ions in organic solvents. It acts as a strong base and is valuable for deprotection reactions, phase transfer catalysis, and synthesizing various organic compounds. This compound is commercially available as a white, crystalline solid, typically as the trihydrate or in solution with tetrahydrofuran. 
 

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Fluoride Source and Nucleophilic Reactions: TBAF acts as a source of fluoride ions, which are highly reactive and can participate in various nucleophilic reactions. It's commonly used in the deprotection of silyl ethers, which are protective groups used in organic synthesis. Silyl groups are often used as protecting groups in organic synthesis to mask certain functional groups. TBAF is effective in removing these protecting groups, allowing for further reactions and manipulations. TBAF is used to remove silyl protecting groups from alcohols and amines, which are common functional groups in pharmaceutical molecules.
