QM'F. Approximately 20 years ago, the first claims for “anhydrous tetrabutylammonium fluoride appeared. The compounds 40 comprising the nucleophilic Substitution of a fluorinated aro were prepared by physical drying of the hydrated salt, i.e., matic or fluorinated unsaturated organic compound with a salt dynamic high vacuum (<0.1 mmHg) to remove water for at having the formula: least 48 hours from TBAF.3H2O at 40-45° C.

However, there was still 0.1 to 0.3 equiv of Q, MA water in this “anhydrous TBAF and copius quantities of the 45 in an inert polar, aprotic solvent; wherein M is an atom elimination products (tributylamine, bifluoride ion, and capable of supporting a formal positive charge, then groups Q butane) as a result of this process.
