Convenient Procedures for the Preparation of Lipophilic Quaternary Onium Fluorides, Hydrogendifluorides and Dihydrogentrifluorides via Ion Exchange in Two-Phase Systems

All articles of this category A series of lipophilic quaternary onium fluorides 2 , hydrogendifluorides 3 , and dihydrogentrifluorides 4 are easily synthesized in almost quantitative yields from the corresponding quaternary hydrogen sulfates by exchange with the appropriate anion in an organic aqueous two-phase system; alternatively quaternary salts 4 can be prepared from onium chlorides 5 or bromides 6 under the same conditions.
