General description

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. It may be used for the conversion of sulfur-containing phosphoramidates to the corresponding phosphate methyl ester.
