Silver tetrafluoroborate, 99%

Description

Light Sensitive and Hygroscopic | CAS: 14104-20-2 | AgBF4 | 194.67 g/mol

Silver tetrafluoroborate finds applications as a useful reagent in inorganic, organic and organomettalic chemistry. It acts as a moderately strong oxidant in dichloromethane, replaces halide anions and ligands with weakly coordinating tetrafluoroborate anions, and behaves as a catalyst for cyclization reactions. It is a potent promoter for chemical glycosylation.
