About Tetra Butyl Ammonium Fluoride Trihydrate (TBAF)

Tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride trihydrate (TBAF3HO) is a quaternary ammonium salt widely used as a convenient and highly effective source of fluoride ions in organic synthesis. It is typically supplied as a hydrated solid or solution and is valued for its strong nucleophilicity and good solubility in polar aprotic solvents. Synonyms include Tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate, n-Tetrabutylammonium fluoride, TBAF trihydrate, and BuNF3HO. Applications of TBAF are most notably in the deprotection of silyl protecting groups (such as TMS, TBDMS, and TIPS) in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis; it is also used in nucleophilic fluorination reactions, phase-transfer catalysis, polymer chemistry, and as a reagent in fine chemical and medicinal chemistry research.
