“…In each, one fluorine atom of the anion forms an almost linear but asymmetric CÀXerF contact (CÀXe bond lengths The xenodeborylation method has been extended to hydrogen-containing aryl compounds, in which the aryl group bears at least one electron-withdrawing substituent (F or CF 3 ). 1083 Alkynylxenonium salts have been obtained by Stang and co-workers 1084 (372) and Frohn and Bardin 1085,1086 (373). When the synthesis is carried out in the presence of BF 3 ÁOMe 2 , in turn, stable tetrafluoroborates are isolated.…”
