Description

Application

Reactant for:

• Preparation of building blocks for synthesis of fluoroallylic compounds
• Synthesis of alcohols via hydrolysis of alkyl silyl ethers at neutral pH in buffered mixed organic-aqueous solutions
• Nucleophilic fluorination of alkynyliodonium salts to form fluorovinylic compounds
• Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions

Used in the successful synthesis of a single-crystal Dion-Jacobson phase, CsLaTa₂O₇, that has applications in photocatalysis and superconductivity.

Used as a base in a Suzuki cross-coupling synthesis of ortho-substituted biaryls. Also employed as a reagent for nucleophilic fluorination of primary halides and sulfonates in protic media such as tert-butyl and tert-pentyl alcohols.
