Triethylamine trihydrofluoride (CAS: 142-56-7) is a specialized reagent formed by the complexation of triethylamine with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. Its molecular formula is C6H18N·3HF. This compound serves as a critical source of nucleophilic fluoride in organic synthesis, facilitating desilylation and fluorination reactions under controlled conditions.
Strict safety protocols are mandatory due to severe corrosivity and toxicity. Storage requires airtight containers made of compatible materials like PTFE or Monel, kept in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from moisture and incompatible oxidizers.
