Description
Tetraphenylborate is unstable in acidic conditions because protons attack the ipso-carbon of the phenyl group and benzene is released. However, the electron density of the ipso-carbon of TFPB is low due to a trifluoromethyl group. Thus TFPB is stable in acidic conditions (such as 50 mM sulfuric acid solution). TFPB is used in Friedel-Craft alkylation or diazo coupling reactions as a phase transfer reagent. It is also used for ion selective electrodes. TFPB is known as Kobayashi’s reagent.
