Introduction | boron trifluoride is an important Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis, alkylation, isomerization, etc.) play an important role. It is inconvenient to use when the trifluoride is turned into a gaseous state. In order to adapt to the activity requirements of different reactions, according to the characteristics of trifluorination, it is often combined with oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing compounds with polarity to convert them into more stable complexes. For example, boron trifluoride ether complex is a kind of complex which is widely used in China. In addition, boron trifluoride can form complexes with thioethers, alkanes, anisoles, phenols, amines and many of their derivatives. |
Application | boron trifluoride diethyl ether complex, commonly used as cationic polymerization catalyst, it is also a catalyst for the manufacture of cis-Polybutadiene Rubber and polyoxymethylene, or a high-energy boron-hydrogen fuel and a basic raw material for the extraction of the isotope boron. It is often used as a catalyst for chemical synthesis, and is also the basic raw material for the manufacture of boron hydrogen high-energy dyes and the extraction of the isotope boron 10. used as catalysts for synthetic rubber, resin and paint used as catalysts for alkylation and condensation reactions in organic synthesis (such as Polybutadiene Rubber, polyoxymethylene, coumarone, synthetic resin, etc.), is also used as a basic raw material for the production of boron and hydrogen high energy fuel or the extraction of isotope boron, and is also used as an epoxy resin curing agent. used as catalysts and Analytical reagents for acetylation, alkylation, polymerization, dehydration and condensation reactions in organic synthesis. It is the basic raw material for the manufacture of boron and hydrogen high energy fuel and the extraction of isotope boron, and can also be used as a curing agent for epoxy resin. used as catalysts for Organic Synthesis (catalysts for acetylation, alkylation, polymerization, dehydration and condensation reactions) and Analytical reagents. used as a common analytical reagent, can also be used as a catalyst for alkylation and condensation reactions in organic synthesis |
synthesis method | fluorite boronic anhydride method, the chemical reaction formula is: the process is to mix the crushed boric acid and fluorite powder uniformly, boron trifluoride gas can be generated by heating with concentrated sulfuric acid. This is the earliest method of industrial maturity, and its cost is lower than the fluoroborate method. The boron trifluoride gas generated in this process contains more impurities, and the generated gas needs to be refined by sodium fluoride particles to remove hydrogen fluoride. In this method, the yield of concentrated sulfuric acid is low (65%), and when the mixture of fluorite concentrate and calcium borate is decomposed by fuming sulfuric acid, the temperature is 150 -180 ℃ and the excess of sulfuric acid is 50%, the yield of boron trifluoride can be greatly improved, so this process is our preferred production method. |

production method | boron trifluoride gas generated by co-heating of sulfuric acid, calcium fluoride (fluorite powder) and boric acid is reacted with diethyl ether, the obtained boron trifluoride-ether crude product was refined to a finished product. Raw material consumption quota: boric acid (≥ 98%) 560kg/t, calcium fluoride (≥ 90%)1150kg/t, fuming sulfuric acid (104.5%)4100kg/t, ether (≥ 99%)725kg/t. The boric acid is heated and reacted with fuming sulfuric acid and fluorite powder by absorption method to generate boron trifluoride gas, which is then absorbed with diethyl ether and subjected to vacuum distillation to obtain a finished product of diethyl trifluoride diethyl ether complex. 3H2SO4+2H33BO3+3CaF2 → 2BF3+3CaSO4+6H2OBF3 +(C2H5)2O →(C2H5)2O · BF3 |
