Title: removal of TBAF?
Post by: blessed on May 26, 2003, 04:36:00 PM

Is there an easy way to remove tetrabutylammoniumfluoride (TBAF) or other TBA-salts from your rxn-product, in cases where recrystallisation won´t work (other than ion-exchange chromatography)??
This TBA-stuff sticks to my product all the way through extracting, washing, and more than one flash-silicagel-chromatography!

Title: produkt = 1,2-Biphenylacetylene
Post by: blessed on May 26, 2003, 10:55:00 PM

products = different 1,2-Biphenylacetylenes from two succeesing Sonogashira-rxn with TMS-Acetylen and aromatic iodides
TBAF was used for removal of TMS-Group after first Sonogashira-rxn(destillation seems unprobable, products are crystalline solids)

Title: Silica gel should remove it.

Silica gel should remove it. Use the good 200mesh merck stuff. If that doesn't work, (I couldn't tell you why not)
use cation exchange resin.
