Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane（Cat No.:M046788）, commonly abbreviated as B(C6F5)3, is a boron compound where the boron atom is coordinated into three pentafluorophenyl groups. This compound is notable for its strong Lewis acidity, which makes it highly effective as a catalyst in a variety of organic reactions, including polymerizations, hydrosilylations, and Friedel-Crafts acylations. The presence of fluorine atoms increases the electron-withdrawing capacity, enhancing the Lewis acidity of the boron center. Its exceptional stability and reactivity under typical reaction conditions make tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane valuable in both academic research and industrial chemical synthesis, particularly in processes requiring high catalytic efficiency.
