Practice of fluorous biphase chemistry: Convenient synthesis of novel fluorophilic ethers via a Mitsunobu reaction

The evolution of the term fluorous is addressed first, then a concise terminology is proposed, including fluorous partition coefficient, specific fluorophilicity and fluorousness. Some examples are shown for the design of higher generation fluorophilic mo

Syntheses and lipophilicities of tetraarylborate ions substituted with many trifluoromethyl groups

Syntheses were investigated using various tetraarylborate ions with a large number of trifluoromethyl groups: tetrakisborate; tetrakisborate; tetrakisborate; and tetrakisborate ions.The preparation of Grignard reagents and the subsequent reaction with boron trifluoride etherate are importantsteps for a higher yield and easier isolation of the product.Sodium- and tetramethylammonium salts of these borate ions are soluble in halocarbon solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform and 1,2-dibromotetrafluoroethane.
