Potassium cyclopropyltrifluoroborate
Potassium cyclopropyltrifluoroborate (CAS: 1065010-87-8), with the molecular formula C3H5BF3K and a molecular weight of 147.98 g/mol, is a valuable organotrifluoroborate reagent. It serves as a stable and versatile surrogate for boronic acids in synthetic organic chemistry. This compound is particularly noted for its utility in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, enabling the efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecule synthesis.

Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions
Potassium cyclopropyltrifluoroborate is extensively employed as a coupling partner in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. This palladium-catalysed process allows for the efficient formation of C-C bonds, making it indispensable for the synthesis of biaryl compounds and other complex organic structures.
Synthesis of Complex Organic Molecules
Its role as a stable boronic acid surrogate makes it a preferred reagent in multi-step syntheses. The trifluoroborate moiety offers improved stability and handling compared to traditional boronic acids, facilitating its integration into various synthetic strategies.
Research and Development in Medicinal Chemistry
The ability to readily introduce the cyclopropyl group via cross-coupling makes this reagent useful in drug discovery programmes. It enables medicinal chemists to explore structure-activity relationships by incorporating this motif into potential therapeutic candidates.
