Description
Potassium (cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)(trifluoro)borate(1-) (CAS: 1186667-20-8) is a highly specialized organoboron compound with the molecular formula C6H9BF3K. This potassium trifluoroborate salt is a valuable reagent in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, where it serves as a stable and air-tolerant boronate precursor. Its cyclohexenyl moiety offers unique reactivity for constructing complex cyclic frameworks. The compound is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, with high purity (>95%) to ensure optimal performance in sensitive applications. Proper storage under inert conditions (argon or nitrogen atmosphere) at 2-8°C is recommended to maintain stability. Ideal for researchers in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science seeking to incorporate cyclohexenyl groups into target molecules.
