Potassium Organotrifluoroborates

Organotrifluoroborates: Versatile and Stable Boronic Acid Surrogates

Prof. Gary Molander has extensively developed the chemistry of organotrifluoroborates. These bench stable boronic acid surrogates are useful for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and have also been used for a variety of other C-C bond forming reactions. Importantly, these reagents are compatible with a wide range of functional groups and are stable to many commonly used and harsh reaction conditions.

Benefits of Organtrifluoroborates:

• Bench stable reagents that can be stored indefinitely
• Can be effectively coupled with a wide range of organic electrophiles
• Exist as tetracoordinated monomeric species
• Are less prone to protodeboronation than their boronic acid or boronate ester counterparts
