Description
Potassium Methoxymethyltrifluoroborate (CAS: 910251-11-5) is a highly specialized organoboron reagent with the molecular formula C2H5BF3KO. This compound is widely utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, due to its stability and reactivity under mild conditions. It serves as a versatile building block for introducing methoxymethyl groups into complex molecular frameworks. The trifluoroborate moiety enhances solubility and handling, making it a preferred choice for researchers in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials science applications. Available in high purity (>95%), this reagent is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, packaged under inert conditions to ensure long-term stability. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong oxidizers.
