Abstract:The obtained results reveal simple synthetic approach for bidentate boron Lewis acids with the ‐OB(C6F5)2 acid group and aliphatic or aromatic linkers. Computational results showed comparable FIA for the ‐OB(C6F5)2 site in boron bidentate Lewis acids relative to initial B(C6F5)3. The relative Lewis acid strength of R[OB(C6F5)2]2 (R = C2H4, p‐C6H4, m‐C6H4) was characterized by Gutman‐Becket tests. The elimination of pentafluorobenzene by the reaction of R‐OH with B(C6F5)3 can be used for the synthesis of R‐OB(C… Show more
