Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.4948 g (0.56 mmole) of sodium tetrakis(3,5-bis-trifluoromethylphenyl)borate, prepared according to the method described in Brookhart et al., Organometallics 11, pp. 3920-3922,1992, dissolved in 4.057 ml of methylene chloride was added 0.154 g (0.553 mmole) of chlorotriphenylmethane (Reagent grade, Aldrich) at room temperature, to form a 0.14 M solution of triphenylmethylcarbenium tetrakis(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl phenyl) borate in methylene chloride. The resulting mixture was transferred in a dry box through a 0.5 mm syringe filter into a dry vial with rubber septum cap.
