Key words

boron - asymmetric synthesis - fluorine - cesium - trifluoroborate

It is convenient to prepare a stock solution. CsF (1 mol) was added in small portions to stirred 48% aq HF (2 mols) in a polyethylene bottle cooled with an ice-water bath. [CAUTION: exothermic. Also, HF is highly toxic and contact with skin or breathing of vapors must be strictly avoided]. The density of the resulting solution of CsHF₂ and HF is ca. 2.23, and the weight of 10 mmol is 2.35 g.

The (1-benzyloxypropyl)trifluoroborate (2k) was prepared by a slightly modified procedure. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 24 h, though the effect of reaction time was not investigated. In addition to the 70% yield indicated in Table [1] , 17% more of slightly impure 2k was obtained by concentration of the H₂O/saturated ether phase from the original reaction mixture followed by treatment of the residue with pentane to remove the pinanediol. However, 2k was not appreciably soluble in anhyd Et₂O.
