Protocols for the synthesis of the bulky polyfluorinated triarylboranes 2,6-(C6 F5 )2 C6 F3 B(C6 F5 )2 (1), 2,6-(C6 F5 )2 C6 F3 B[3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ] (2), 2,4,6-(C6 F5 )3 C6 H2 B(C6 F5 )2 (3), 2,4,6-(C6 F5 )3 C6 H2 B[3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ] (4) were developed. All boranes are water tolerant and according to the Gutmann-Beckett method, 1-3 display Lewis acidities larger than that of the prominent B(C6 F5 )3 .
