Water → Bis(pentafluorophenyl)borinic acid

Reaction Steps

Moreover, that patent also discloses a method in which aluminum sulfate 18 hydrate is used instead of water. Specifically, aluminum sulfate 18 hydrate containing water of 1.77 molar equivalent vs. tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane is added to a toluene solution of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane. After the solution is refluxed, insoluble aluminum sulfate is separated from the reaction mixture. A solvent of the filtrate is removed in vacuo. Toluene is added to the thus obtained residues. After stirring, the insoluble material is filtered through a G4 sintered-glass so as to be separated. The solvent of the filtrate is again removed in vacuo. Heptane is added to the residues. The solution is stirred and filtered so that a cake is obtained. Finally, the thus obtained cake is washed with heptane, and dried in vacuo so as to isolate bis(pentafluorophenyl)borinic acid. However, this method has such a problem that it is necessary to remove the byproduct aluminum sulfate and its process is so complicated.
