| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
N-Ethylacetonitrilium Tetrafluoroborate is used as a reagent for the dehydration of aldoximes to nitriles.[1] | [Preparation]
Preparative Methods of N-Ethylacetonitrilium Tetrafluoroborate: this salt can be prepared by N-alkylation of Acetonitrile with Triethyloxonium
Tetrafluoroborate (eq 1),[2] or by C-alkylation of isocyanides.[1] The treatment of O,O,O-triethyl phosphorothioate
with equimolar amounts of Nitrosonium Tetrafluoroborate in anhydrous acetonitrile gave the Nethylacetonitrilium ion in moderate yield (eq 2).[3]
 | [storage]
N-Ethylacetonitrilium Tetrafluoroborate is a powerful alkylating agent similar to triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate; treat
with due caution.
