| Abstract: | Protocols for the synthesis of the bulky polyfluorinated triarylboranes 2,6-(C6F5)2C6F3B(C6F5)2 ( 1 ), 2,6-(C6F5)2C6F3B3,5-(CF3)2C6H3] ( 2 ), 2,4,6-(C6F5)3C6H2B(C6F5)2 ( 3 ), 2,4,6-(C6F5)3C6H2B3,5-(CF3)2C6H3] ( 4 ) were developed. All boranes are water tolerant and according to the Gutmann-Beckett method, 1 – 3 display Lewis acidities larger than that of the prominent B(C6F5)3. |
