Boron trifluoride dihydrate（Cat No.:M059442）, BF₃·2H₂O, is a hydrated form of boron trifluoride, a colorless gas that is highly reactive and toxic. This compound typically forms as a fuming liquid or as crystals. It is used primarily as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic chemistry for various reactions, including polymerizations, esterifications, and acylations. The presence of water stabilizes the boron trifluoride, making it less aggressive and easier to handle, thereby broadening its utility in chemical syntheses. Boron trifluoride dihydrate is valued for its ability to enhance reaction rates and improve yield efficiencies in industrial and laboratory settings.
