| | Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white to light yellow crystal powder. | | Uses | Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is used as a powerful alkylating agent, especially for ethylation. It is used for the modification of carboxyl residues in proteins. It is involved in the preparation of μ-amino esters from lactams. It is also alkylating agent for nucleophilic functional groups in organic synthesis. | | Application | Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate can be used:
To prepare amino esters by reacting with lactams followed by hydrolysis.
In the preparation of substituted imidazolines from aziridines and nitriles via [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction.
For the N-alkylation of a series of N-arylsulfonyl-α-amino acid methyl esters having variable substituents at 4th position of the sulfonamide aromatic ring.
Synthesis of HDET2. | | Safety Profile | Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is a powerful ethylating agent, although the hazards are diminished because it is non-volatile. It releases strong acid upon contact with water. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of boronand Fí. Mutation data reported. | | Synthesis | Triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate is prepared from boron trifluoride,diethyl ether and epichlorohydrin:
4 Et2O·BF3+ 2 Et2O + 3 C2H3(O)CH2Cl → 3 Et3O+BF4+ B[(OCH(CH2Cl)CH2OEt]3
The trimethyloxonium salt is available from dimethyl ether via an analogous route.These salts do not have long shelf-lives at room temperature. They degrade by hydrolysis:
[(CH3CH2)3O]+BF4+ H2O → (CH3CH2)2O + CH3CH2OH +HBF4 | | Purification Methods | Crystallise it from diethyl ether. It is very hygroscopic, and must be handled in a dry box and stored at 0o. [Meerwein Org Synth Coll Vol V 1096 1973.] Pure material should give a clear and colourless solution in dichloromethane (1 in 50, w/v). [Beilstein 1 IV 1322.] |
