Abstract

[16872-11-0] BF4H (MW 87.82) InChI = 1S/BF4/c2-1(3,4)5/q-1/p+1 InChIKey = ODGCEQLVLXJUCC-UHFFFAOYSA-O [67969-83-9] C2H7BF4O (MW 133.90) InChI = 1S/C2H6O.BF4/c1-3-2;2-1(3,4)5/h1-2H3;/q;-1/p+1 InChIKey = GOKRNJRKIGVPOV-UHFFFAOYSA-O [67969-82-8] C4H11BF4O (MW 161.96) InChI = 1S/C4H10O.BF4/c1-3-5-4-2;2-1(3,4)5/h3-4H2,1-2H3;/q;-1/p+1 InChIKey = JDQHPOVUCKSJFJ-UHFFFAOYSA-O (strong acid with pKa = −0.441 and a noncoordinating counterion2) Solubility: sol H2O, alcohols and ethers. Form Supplied in: 48% aq solution; diethyl ether complex; dimethyl ether complex. Purification: commercial 50% solutions can be concentrated by evaporation at 50–60 °C/5 mmHg to give a residue of 11 N total acidity. Water can also be removed by slow addition to ice-cold acetic anhydride (dangerously exothermic reaction: caution is advised!).3 Handling, Storage, and Precautions: storage in glass containers is not recommended, although dilute solutions can be used in glass containers over short periods. Poisonous: causes burns to eyes, skin, and mucous membranes and may be fatal if ingested. Use in a fume hood with safety goggles and chemically resistant gloves and clothing. Incompatible with cyanides and strong bases: decomposes to form HF.
