Description

1A SYNTHESIS OF FLUOROPHENYL BORANES FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the synthesis of fluorophenyl boranes. More particularly, the invention relates to the synthesis of pentafluorophenyl boranes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The discussion of the background to the invention herein is included to explain the context of the invention. This is not to be taken as an admission that any of the material referred to was published, known or part of the common general knowledge in Australia as at the priority date of any of the claims.
Prior art describes the production of tris-pentafluorophenyl borane from various starting materials. See, for example, United States patent 5,362,423 and Pohlmann, et al., Z.Naturforschq. 20 b, 5-11 (1965). Tris-pentafluorophenyl boranes are useful as catalyst or catalyst or components in some types of olefin polymerization reactions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention there is provided a process which includes: providing a reaction vessel containing a first solution of a fluorophenyl Grignard reagent in an ether solvent, (ii) exchanging said ether solvent for a solvent which is not an ether, wherein a second solution of said fluorophenyl Grignard reagent in said solvent which is not an ether is produced, and (iii) adding a boron trihalide to said second solution for reaction with said fluorophenyl Grignard reagent, wherein a third solution of a fluorophenyl borane is produced.
Accordingly, a fluorophenyl Grignard compound is reacted in a non-interfering solvent with a boron trihalide to produce a borane.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The fluorophenyl Grignard reagents useful in the invention have the formula RMgX, in which R is a fluorophenyl group, preferably a pentafluorophenyl o MR W:\maryMMHNODEL\53578a.doc WO 98/22475 PCT/US97/21071 -2group, and X is a halogen, preferably bromine or chlorine.
Boron trihalides useful on the invention have the formula BX 3 in which X is a halide, bromine or chlorine or fluorine. The boron trihalides may be used per se or in the form of an etherate,
BF
3 *OEt 2 Production of fluorophenyl Grignard reagents, specifically pentafluoro magnesium bromide, is described in Repress, et al., J.Organometallic Chem.
(1969) 18:263-274 and Repress, et al., J.Organometallic Chem. (1969) 18:191-195.
The invention may entail essentially the single step process in which the boron trihalide is combined with a pre-formed or existing solution of a fluorophenyl Grignard reagent in a non-interfering solvent.
Alternatively, the invention may be carried out in two steps in which the fluorophenyl Grignard reagent is first produced, for example, in a reaction mixture including an ether solvent and is thereafter reacted in a second step with the boron trihalide in a solvent which need not be an ether. The two-step method is preferably completed in a single solvent or a single reaction vessel in which the fluorophenyl Grignard reagent is first produced, for example, in an ether solvent and then reacted, if desired, after solvent WO 98/22475 PCT/US97/21071 -3exchange to provide a hydrocarbon solvent of the Grignard with the boron trihalide reactant.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, hexafluoro benzene is first diluted with an ether, such as tetrahydrofuran. A ferrous chloride catalyst is added and the solution cooled in an ice bath. Ethyl magnesium bromide is added in solution in THF. The boron trihalide, in the laboratory in the form of the etherate, is added to the reaction mixture which is refluxed for a time sufficient to produce the desired fluorophenyl Grignard reagent. The hydrocarbon solvent is added, and the reaction mixture distilled to remove the THF.
In the embodiment of the invention conducted in a single solvent or reaction vessel, the fluorophenyl benzene, preferably hexafluoro benzene, and a catalyst, if appropriate, are dissolved in a solvent. The solution is cooled. A Grignard reagent, such as ethyl magnesium bromide, is added to the cooled solution at ambient temperature. In general, the reaction conditions for producing the fluorophenyl Grignard as described in the Repress, et al. references cited above may be utilized.
The boron trihalide, for example boron trifluoride etherate, is added by syringe to the reaction mixture containing the fluorophenyl Grignard in an amount sufficient under the conditions to provide the desired WO 98/22475 PCT/US97/21071 -4borane. After completion of the boron trihalide introduction, the mixture is stirred in an inert environment for a time sufficient to produce the desired tris-fluorophenyl borane. Sufficient reaction may be achieved by overnight refluxing. White solids begin to form during the first hour. The product may be recovered by conventional methods, such as distillation.
EXAMPLE 1 Hexafluoro benzene (66.5 mmol, 12.4 g) was diluted with 100 ml THF. FeC1 2 (0.2 g, 1.6 mmol) was added, and the solution cooled to 0-5 0 C in an ice bath. A solution of EtMgBr (100 ml, 0.94 M in THF) was added over 30 minutes. After stirring for an additional minutes, the ice bath was removed and BF 3 *OEt 2 (1.9 ml, 15.6 mmol) was added by syringe, and the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. Deoxygenated hydrocarbon solvent (Isopar E) was added, and the reaction mixture was distilled to remove THF. A portion of the sample was withdrawn and analyzed by 9
F
NMR which showed a (C 6 Fs)B.THF adduct. The distillation was continued until THF was no longer present in aliquots of the hydrolyzed reaction mixture.
Another 19F NMR spectrum was obtained showing (C 6 Fs) 3
B
free of THF.
