Synthetic Utility for TBAF

Key Attributes and Features of TBAF

Availability in trihydrate form (TBAF * 3H2O) for minimum water content for applications requiring "anhydrous" fluoride
Easily soluble in organic solvents as opposed to other sources of fluoride (such as KF/crown); TBAF's solubility will allow design of appropriate reaction systems
"Anhydrous" source of fluoride; the lack of significant amounts of water leaves the fluoride "naked", or accessible, and much more reactive
Unique base and non-nucleophilic properties of TBAF can be used in basecatalyzed cyclizations and conjugate additions
Si-F bonding, one of the strongest single bonds known; TBAF in dry THF can desilylate TBDMS (tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-protected alcohols
