Tetramethylammonium hydroxide → Tetramethylammonium pentafluorobenzenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of methanol was dissolved 25 g of pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride under cooling with ice, and to the solution was gradually added 100 g of a 25% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours to obtain a solution of tetramethylammonium pentafluorobenzenesulfonate. The solution was used for conducting salt exchange with a sulfonium salt or an iodonium salt.
