Anhydrous phosphazenium fluorides as sources for extremely reactive fluoride ions in solution

Reinhard Schwesinger et al. Chemistry. 2005.

Abstract

Several peralkylated polyaminophosphazenium cations were evaluated for the generation of novel anhydrous F- salts. Two of them have been characterized by X-ray analysis and are particularly soluble, even in apolar aprotic solvents like benzene or THF, one of them even at -30 degrees C. Such solutions probably represent the most basic metal-free and stable media known to date. Comparison of these fluorides with known F- sources demonstrates that they are of unprecedented reactivity and selectivity in E2 elimination reactions.
