Boron tris(trifluoroacetate) is a useful building block in synthetic chemistry. It can also be employed as a catalyst for homoallyboration reactions.
Reactant for:
- Trifluoroacetylation of arenes
Boron Tris(trifluoroacetate) is obtained in quantitative yield by the interaction of BCl3 or BBr3 with trifluoroacetic acid.
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.
