Application

Sodium tetrafluoroborate may be used as a catalyst for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes via electrophilic substitution reaction of indoles with aldehydes and ketones. It may also be used as a source of tetrafluoroborate anoins during the synthesis of ionic liquids like 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium tetrafluoroborate.

Sodium tetrafluoroborate may be used for the laboratory synthesis of boron fluoride. It may be used for the synthesis of fluoro-nucleic acids and fluoroheterocyclic compounds.

General description

Sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF₄) is colorless sodium salt and its crystals belong to the rhombic crystal system. It can be synthesized by reacting tetrafluoroboric acid with sodium carbonate or hydroxide.
