In hydrofluonc acid

Alkyl silyl ethers are cleaved by a variety of reagents Whether the silicon-oxygen or the carbon-oxygen bond is cleaved depends on the nature of the reagent used Treatment of alkoxysilanes with electrophilic reagents like antimony tri-fluonde, 40% hydrofluonc acid, or a boron tnfluonde-ether complex results in the cleavage of the silicon-oxygen bond to form mono-, di-, and tnfluorosiloxanes or silanes [19, 20, 21) (equations 18-20)... 

Heavily fluonnated aminobenzenes, pyridines, and pyrimidines are diazotized in strong-acid media Solid sodium nitrite added directly to the fluonnated amine dissolved in 80% hydrofluonc acid, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, or (1 1 wt/wt) 98% sulfuric acid in (86 14 wt/wt) acetic and propionic acids affords the electrophilic fluoroarenediazonium ion Addition of an electron rich aromatic to the resultant diazonium solution gives the fluoroareneazo compound [10 II] (equa tions 9 and 10)... 

Stability toward reduction makes hydrogen fluoride a good medium for different hydrogenation processes [1, 2] It is a useful solvent for the hydrogenation of benzene in the presence of Lewis acids [f ] Anhydrous hydrofluonc acid has pronounced catalytic effect on the hydrogenations of various aromatic compounds, aliphatic ketones, acids, esters, and anhydrides in the presence of platinum dioxide [2] (equations 1-3)...
