|  |  | Tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | WHITE FINE CRYSTALLINE POWDER |  | Uses | 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-trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]porphyrin by cyclic voltammetry. 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).
 |  | Uses | TBATFB has been used as an electrolyte to understand the paraffin graphite powder modified with sweet potato tissue (PCPET) electrode response. |  | General Description | 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. |  | Purification Methods | Recrystallise it from H2O, aqueous EtOH or from EtOAc by cooling in Dry-ice. Also recrystallise it from ethyl acetate/pentane or dry acetonitrile. Dry it at 80o under vacuum. [Detty & Jones J Am Chem Soc 109 5666 1987, Hartley & Faulkner J Am Chem Soc 107 3436 1985.] The acetate has m 118±2o (from BuCl), the bromide has m 118o (from EtOAc) and the nitrate has m 120o (from *C6H6).
