Fluoroborates special

Arylcarbodiimides also dimerize with alkyl phosphites (68CB174) and in special cases with triethylamine (76CC567). HBF4 is effective in giving the corresponding fluoroborate salts which can be converted to the bis(imino)-l,3-diazetidines with base (Scheme 87) (68AG(E)72, 72LA(762)167>.

In the interests of improved electrochemical background limits and reactant stability, it is important to employ solvents that are as free as possible of nucleophiles and proton sources. Special attention always goes to the removal of water. The most important media are carefully purified acetonitrile, dimethyl-formamide, benzonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran. Popular supporting electrolytes are tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) and fluoroborate (TBABF4). Solutions are usually prepared by vacuum-line methods (Chap. 18) or in a dry box (Chap. 19) to exclude oxygen from the systems and to avoid contamination by water.

Since volatile, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is extremely corrosive and toxic, the fluorodediazo-niatron of aromatic amines with this agent require.s special apparatus and. safety conditions, which are not available in most laboratories. Thus, the decomposition of diazonium tclra-fliioro bo rates, which can be readily prepared from aromatic amines and casier-to-handle tetra-fluoroboric acid, is the commonest fluorodediazoniation process, usually referred to as the Balz-Schiemann reaction (see Vol. E 10a, p 705IT). 

Of special interest were the results obtained from the m-chlorobenzyldimethylselenonium fluoroborate since the chlorine appears to direct the attack of the ylide predominantly to the more-hindered position ortho to itself (Scheme 67). 

The nitrations are carried out under anhydrous conditions. This is of special advantage in dealing with compounds which under usual strong acidic nitration conditions may undergo hydrolysis or oxidation. Aryl nitriles, for example, are easily hydrolyzed under nitration conditions and no direct dinitration, requiring forceful conditions, was previously possible. The nitronium fluoroborate method enable us to carry out mono and dinitration of aryl nitriles with high yields without any hydrolysis of the -CN group. 

Ionic liquids (ILs) with their outstanding solvent properties, that is, high conductivity, tunable polarity, zero volatility, and high thermal stability, are of growing interest in different fields of application including as a solvent component in microemulsions [6,7]. Thus, the tunable polar properties are of special interest. Therefore, ILs can be used as polar [8-11] as well as nonpolar solvents [12,13], Moreover, ILs can show amphiphilic behavior [14] and are called IL sirnfactants [15], Their physical properties can be adjusted in a characteristic way by varying the molecular structure of ILs. Since the ILs are sterically mismatched ions, they hinder crystal formation. Different cations, for example, ammonium, phosphonium, sulfonium, imidazolium, pyridinium, or pyrrolidinium, with different anions, for example, chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoroborate, or fluorophosphates, can be selected for a broad range of combinations [6]. 

Fluoroborates have a special place in electroplating, which is the coating of a metallic or a non-conductive substrate with another metal. The standard mixtures for electroplating baths include ...
