Nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate, also called nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NOBF4. This colourless solid finds use in organic synthesis as a nitrosating agent.[1]
NOBF4 is the nitrosonium salt of fluoroboric acid, and is composed of a nitrosonium cation, [NO]+, and a tetrafluoroborate anion, [BF4]−.
Reactions
Nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate may be used to prepare metal salts of the type [MII(CH3CN)x][BF4]2 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). The nitrosonium cation acts as the oxidizer, itself being reduced to nitric oxide gas:[2]
- M + NOBF4 + xCH3CN → [M(CH3CN)x](BF4)2 + NO
With ferrocene the ferrocenium tetrafluoroborate is formed.[3]
