Description

Other Notes

BF3-MeOH solution is a Lewis acid-base complex used as a versatile reagent and catalyst in organic synthesis

Application
Boron trifluoride-methanol complex solution can be used for the deprotection of acetylated amines of cyanine dyes to form products with free amino groups.[1] It may be used for the conversion of sulfur-containing phosphoramidates to the corresponding phosphate methyl ester.
