Boron, aluminum, and gallium tris (trifluoromethanesulfonate)(triflate) were prepared from the corresponding chlorides (bromides) and triflic acid. The group IIIA triflates were isolated in pure form and fully characterized (elemental analysis, molecular weight, and NMR and IR spectroscopy). Boron tris (triflate) is a monomeric, relatively volatile compound [mp 43-45 C, bp 68-73 C (0.5 Torr)], whereas aluminum and gallium triflate are associated, high-melting associated solids. Boron, aluminum, and gallium tris (triflate) are efficient new Friedel-Crafts catalysts as shown in alkylation, isomerization, and acylation reactions. Alkylation of benzene and toluene with methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and rerf-butyl halides (fluoride, chloride, and bromide) were carried out with boron, aluminum, and gallium tris (triflate) as catalyst in CH2C12 and CH3N02 solvent at room temperature. Substrate {kT/kB) and positional selectivity (isomer distribution) were determined by GLC. Boron triflate shows the highestcatalytic activity followed by gallium and aluminum triflate as reflected by overall yields in the alkylation reactions and tendency of accompanying isomerization, causing substantially increased meta substitution and disproportionation.
