a highly efficient method for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported - boron trifluoride (pvpp-bf3) in the presence of 35% hydrogen peroxide has been developed in acetonitrile at 60 °c. this procedure cleanly oxidizes variety of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids. oxidative esterification of benzaldehyde utilizing pvpp-bf3/h2o2(35%) ...

The Lewis acid-mediated reactions of allene-ene compounds, derived from 3-methylcitronellal or dimethyl malonate, were carried out using various Lewis acids such as ethylaluminum dichloride, diethylaluminum chloride, titanium chloride, zinc chloride etherate, or boron trifluoride etherate, affording unexpectedly intramolecular [2+2]cycloaddition products under some particular reaction condition...

Nano-silica supported boron trifluoride (BF3.SiO2) is an efficient, reusable and eco-friendly catalyst for chemoselective thioacetalization of aldehydes and ketones. So, this catalyst was applied for transthioacetalization of acetals and acylals into their corresponding 1,3-dithiolanes or 1,3-dithianes  in good to excellent yields. The reactions were carried out at room temperature under solven...

The title compound, C(15)H(10)BF(2)NO, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-(quinolin-2-yl)phenol and boron trifluoride etherate. The quinoline ring system and the benzene ring are twisted, making a dihedral angle of 8.3 (2)°. In the crystal, π-π inter-actions between the aromatic rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.638 (9) Å] link the mol-ecules into chains propagating in [100].

In an effort to discover new potential boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes, the title compound, C19H17BF2N4O4, was prepared from 2,4-dimethyl-pyrrole, 3,5-dinitro-benzaldehyde and boron trifluoride in a one-pot reaction. The BODIPY fragment is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.251 (2) Å, and the benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 86.8 (6)° to ...
