Organotrifluoroborate salts are converted rapidly by tetrachlorosilane in nucleophilic solvents such as THF or acetonitrile into organodichloroboranes coordinated with the solvent (see scheme). This reaction completes a sequence from alkylboronic esters via the trifluoroborate salts to reactive alkyldichloroboranes under mild conditions.
