BORON TRIS(TRIFLUOROACETATE) Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Reactant for:

• Trifluoroacetylation of arenes

Uses

Boron tris(trifluoroacetate) is a useful building block in synthetic chemistry. It can also be employed as a catalyst for homoallyboration reactions.

Definition

a mild Lewis acid

Synthesis

Boron Tris(trifluoroacetate) is obtained in quantitative yield by the interaction of BCl3 or BBr3 with trifluoroacetic acid.

Precautions

Boron Tris(trifluoroacetate) is extremely corrosive to the eyes and skin. If swallowed causes severe internal irritation and damage. Toxic irritating vapor. All work must be carried out in an efficient fume hood.
