Synthesis of Functionalized Borate Building Blocks for the Anionic Derivatization of Neutral Compounds

Abstract

Mono- and bifunctional fluorinated borate building blocks were prepared in three to five steps with good to excellent overall yields. Compounds with both nucleophilic and electrophilic functionalities are presented, which can be used for the anionic derivatization of neutral molecules.

Key words

boron - fluorine - organometallic reagents - anions
