The interactions of alkali fluorides with D-xylose have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, 1H and 13C) and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. KF and CsF form complexes with D-xylose in a 1:1 molar ratio.

A highly efficient and rapid total synthesis of 9Z-retinoic acid was accomplished by caesium fluoride-promoted Stille coupling reaction; using a common building block, 9Z-retinoic acid analogues were also prepared by the same method without isomerisation of the Z-double bond.

Benzylammonium N-alkylides were generated by reaction of N-[1-(trimethylsilyl)alkyl]benzylammonium salts with cesium fluoride in DMF or HMPA, and their rearrangement products were investigated. [2,3]Sigmatropic rearrangement of the ylides initially occurred to give isotoluene derivatives and then they were transformed into Sommelet-Hauser
