  • Patent number: 7696347
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds which are useful as safe substitutes for the organotin reagent used in coupling reaction for the oxymethylation of aromatic rings, such as alkoxymethylation or hydroxymethylation, with a palladium catalyst and which can dispense with chromatographic purification with silica gel in the production and are suitable for mass production; and compounds applicable even to the oxymethylation of aromatic ring substrates which do not permit coupling reaction by conventional technique or have low reactivity.

  • Publication number: 20100056788
    Abstract: Provided is a fluoroboron compound which is highly safe and stable and is capable of forming a cyclic ether-fused ring by the intramolecular alkoxymethylation reaction, or a salt thereof. The compound can be synthesized by the intramolecular alkoxymethylation reaction of a fluoroboron compound represented by the formula (I) or a salt thereof in the presence of a metal catalyst. (wherein the moiety represented by the formula represents an aromatic ring; L represents a substituent such as a halogen atom; R represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms; and M represents an alkali metal cation or the like, with the proviso that L and —R—OCH2BF3M are respectively located on contiguous carbon atoms on the aromatic ring, or in the case of a fused aromatic ring, on two carbon atoms adjacent to one carbon at the fused position).
