(Chemical Equation Presented) Whereas electron withdrawing substituents retard the rate of aryltrifluoroborate solvolysis, electron-donating groups enhance it. Herein is presented a Hammett analysis of the solvolytic lability of aryltrifluoroborates where log(Ksolv) values correlate to a values with a ρ value of approximately -1. This work provides a predictable rubric for tuning the reactivity of boron for several uses including 18F-labeled PET reagents and has mechanistic implications for ArBF3-enhanced ligandless metal-mediated cross coupling reactions with aryltrifluoroborates.
