  • Patent number: 7205441
    Abstract: Fluoroaryl magnesium halide is reacted with a boron compound so that a molar ratio of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide to the boron compound is not less than 3.0 and not more than 3.7, so as to produce a tetrakis (fluoroaryl) borate.magnesium compound. With this method, there occurs no hydrogen fluoride which corrodes a producing apparatus and requires troublesome waste water treatment.

  • Patent number: 6818785
    Abstract: After a fluoroaryl borane derivative is precipitated from a solution containing the fluoroaryl borane derivative, a bis (fluoroaryl) borane derivative, and a hydrocarbon solvent and is subjected to first filtration so that the fluoroaryl borane derivative is isolated, a filtrate that has been obtained by the first filtration is cooled and the bis (fluoroaryl) borane derivative is separated and is subjected to second filtration so that the bis (fluoroaryl) borane derivative is isolated. In a case where the solution contains fluorobenzene, the solution is concentrated, so that the fluorobenzene is removed. Thus, it is possible to provide the high-purity fluoroaryl borane derivative and bis (fluoroaryl) borane derivative having no impurity with ease and at a low cost.

  • Patent number: 6812360
    Abstract: Bis(fluoroaryl)borane derivative is produced by reacting tris(fluoroaryl)borane with a compound, such as water, ethanol, ammonia and the like, in a hydrocarbon solvent at a molar ratio raging from 1:0.9 to 1:1.1. It is more preferable that the reaction is carried out while the hydrocarbon solvent is distilled off. It is more preferable that hydrocarbon solvent is substantially an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a method for producing and isolating the bis(fluoroaryl)borane derivative of a high purity, with ease and at a low cost.

  • Patent number: 6624329
    Abstract: Tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate•magnesium halide (Ar4BMgX) expressed by General Formula (1): where each of R1-R10 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a hydrocarbon group, or an alkoxy group, provided that at least one of R1-R5 represents a fluorine atom and at least one of R6-R10 represents a fluorine atom, X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodide atom, and n represents 2 or 3, is treated with alkali metal salts of carboxylic acid and/or alkali earth metal salts of carboxylic acid. Then, a tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate derivative (Ar4BZ) is produced by reacting treated Ar4BMgX with a compound generating monovalent cation seeds (for example, N,N-dimethylaniline•hydrochloride). Consequently, it has become possible to provide a purifying process of separating/removing impurities from Ar4BMgX readily and efficiently, and a process of producing inexpensive Ar4BX efficiently.

  • Patent number: 6509488
    Abstract: In a method for purifying a fluoroaryl metal compound of the present invention, magnesium halide is precipitated and removed from a solution containing the fluoroaryl metal compound, the magnesium halide, and an ether solvent. Or, the magnesium halide is removed by treating the solution with an acid. Examples of the method include: a method in which a solvent which has a boiling point higher than that of the ether solvent contained in the solution and which does not dissolve the magnesium halide is heated to a temperature higher than the boiling point of the ether solvent, then the ether solvent is distilled out with the solution being added to the solvent; and a method in which the solution and an aqueous solution containing an acid are mixed and stirred, then allowed to stand so as to be separated into an organic layer containing the fluoroaryl metal compound and an aqueous layer containing the magnesium halide and the acid.

  • Patent number: 6465668
    Abstract: A method for easily and inexpensively producing and purifying a fluoroaryl metal compound such as bis(pentafluorophenyl)dialkyltin which is less colored and has no impurities is provided. Hydrocarbon magnesium halide is reacted with fluoroaryl halide in a solvent including an ether solvent so as to obtain fluoroaryl magnesium halide, which is then reacted with an organic metal compound so as to produce a fluoroaryl metal compound. Tin is more preferable as a metal atom included in the organic metal compound. As for the ether solvent, chain ether solvents are preferable, more specifically, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, and t-butylmethyl ether are more preferable. Besides, it is preferable that magnesium halide, which is a by-product of the fluoroaryl metal compound, is precipitated and removed, or treated with an acid.
