Novel strong boron-containing acids, the preparation and use thereof

USPTO Application #: 20070293391
Title: Novel strong boron-containing acids, the preparation and use thereof
Abstract: The invention relates to boron-containing acids of the general formula (I) [B(RF)4-x-y(CN)xFy]− H+ (I), where x=0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, y=0, 1, 2 or 3 x+y≦4, and in which the ligands RF may be identical or different and RF stands for a perfluorinated or partially fluorinated C1-12-alkyl group and where the CN group is bonded to the B atom via the C atom, and complexes thereof with a solvent, to salts comprising a cation and the anion of a selection of the acids according to the invention, and to processes for the preparation of the salts.

[0001] The invention relates to boron-containing acids of the general formula (I) [B(R.sup.F).sub.4-x-y(CN).sub.xF.sub.y].sup.- H.sup.+ (I)

[0002] where

[0003] x=0, 1, 2, 3 or 4,

[0004] y=0, 1, 2 or 3 and

[0005] x+y.ltoreq.4,

[0006] and in which

[0007] the ligands R.sup.F may be identical or different and

[0008] R.sup.F stands for a perfluorinated or partially fluorinated C.sub.1-12-alkyl group and

[0009] where the CN group is bonded to the B atom via the C atom,

[0010] and complexes thereof with a solvent.

[0011] The present invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of the acids according to the invention, to salts comprising a cation and the anion of a selection of the acids according to the invention, and to processes for the preparation of the salts.

[0012] The invention furthermore relates to the use of the acids and salts according to the invention.

[0013] The prior art describes borate anions in which fluorine ligands have been replaced by cyanide (E. Bernhardt, G. Henkel, H. Willner, Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 626 (2000) 560; D. Williams, B. Pleune, J. Kouvetakis, M. D. Williams, R. A. Andersen, J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 122 (2000) 7735; E. Bernhardt, M. Berkei, M. Schurmann, H. Willner, Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 628 (2002) 1734) and trifluoromethyl ligands (E. Bernhardt, G. Henkel, H. Willner, G. Pawelke, H. Burger, Chem. Eur. J. 7 (2001) 4696; G. Pawelke, H. Burger, Coord. Chem. Rev. 215 (2001) 243). The trifluoromethyl borates here are synthesised starting from the cyanoborates, but the cyanoborates are accessible with difficulty and only in small amounts. The synthesis of [B(CN).sub.4].sup.- is labour-intensive and can only be carried out on a small preparative scale. In addition, the starting materials are expensive. Salts with tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)borate anions are described in EP 1205480 A1. A novel synthesis of alkali metal tetracyanoborates and salts, in particular ionic liquids, with a cyanoborate anion which also contains F ligands are described in WO 2004/07089.

[0014] The synthesis of the cyanoboric acids of the formula (I) in which replacement of a cyanide ligand by a perfluoroalkyl ligand is carried out in the simultaneous presence or absence of a fluoride ligand has not been carried out to date.

[0015] The present invention had the object of providing alternative strong acids which can be used, in particular, for the synthesis of salts which lead to ionic liquids or catalyst systems.

[0016] This object is achieved by the acids of the general formula (I) [B(R.sup.F).sub.4-x-y(CN).sub.xF.sub.y].sup.- H.sup.+ (I)

[0017] where

[0018] x=0, 1, 2, 3 or 4,

[0019] y=0, 1, 2 or 3 and

[0020] x+y.ltoreq.4.

[0021] and in which

[0022] the ligands R.sup.F may be identical or different and

[0023] R.sup.F stands for a perfluorinated or partially fluorinated C.sub.1-12-alkyl group and

[0024] where the CN group may be bonded to the B atom via the C atom,
