TETRABUTYLAMMONIUM CYANIDE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Tetrabutylammonium cyanide is commonly used as a catalyst for the synthesis of organic compounds such as multisubstituted dihydrofurans and pyrrolo[2,?1-?a]?isoquinolines.

Uses

Tetrabutylammonium cyanide (TBACN) can be used as a source of cyanide ion for colorimetric studies.
It can be employed as a reactant in the preparation of:

• Tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF), which can be used to remove silyl ether protecting groups.
• Rhenium-based single-chain magnets, (DMF)₄MReCl₄(CN)₂ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni).
• Phosphorescent blue light-emitting anionic iridium complexes.
