CAS 373-57-9: Boron trifluoride methanol complex
Description:Boron trifluoride methanol complex, with the CAS number 373-57-9, is a coordination compound formed between boron trifluoride (BF3) and methanol (CH3OH). This complex is characterized by its Lewis acid-base interaction, where BF3 acts as a Lewis acid due to its electron-deficient boron atom, while methanol serves as a Lewis base, donating a lone pair of electrons from its oxygen atom. The resulting complex is typically a colorless liquid that exhibits a distinctive odor. It is known for its ability to act as a catalyst in various organic reactions, particularly in the formation of ethers and other functional groups. The complex is also soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in synthetic chemistry. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as both BF3 and methanol can be hazardous; BF3 is toxic and corrosive, while methanol is flammable and toxic if ingested. Proper safety precautions should be taken when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
