Tetramethylammonium hydroxide → Tetramethylammonium pentafluorobenzenesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (25 g) was dissolved in 100 ml of methanol under ice cooling, and 100 g of a 25% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide was slowly added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 3 hours. Thus, a solution of tetramethylammonium pentafluorobenzenesulfonate was obtained. This solution was used for salt interchange with a sulfonium salt and an iodonium salt.
