Recent Applications of Solid-Supported Ammonium Fluorides in Organic Synthesis

This review summarizes recent contributions on the use of fluoride catalysts immobilized on polymer supports. Besides the commercially available Amberlyst fluoride, TBAF on silica gel, and TBAF on alumina, that have proved widely useful for several interesting and valuable synthetic C–N, C–O, and C–C bond transformations, novel catalysts based on the DABCO moiety have allowed access to very useful, new transformations. 1 Introduction 2 Polystyryl-DABCOF₂ 3 Polystyryl-DABCOF 4 Amberlyst Fluoride (Amb-F) 5 TBAF on Alumina or on Silica Gel 6 Conclusion
