Potassium 2-(oxiran-2-yl)ethyltrifluoroborate

Description:

Potassium 2-(oxiran-2-yl)ethyltrifluoroborate, with the CAS number 608140-72-3, is an organoboron compound characterized by the presence of a trifluoroborate group and an epoxide functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its ionic nature. The trifluoroborate moiety enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions and as a boron source in cross-coupling reactions. The epoxide group contributes to its potential as a reactive intermediate, allowing for further functionalization. Additionally, the compound is of interest in materials science and medicinal chemistry due to its unique structural features and reactivity profile. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many organoboron derivatives, due to potential reactivity and toxicity.
