Formic Acid Saturated with Boron Trifluoride as a Reagent for Acyl Rearrangement of Proteins

Treatment of Warts with Topical Formic Acid

Pechmann reaction promoted by boron trifluoride dihydrate.

The Pechmann reaction of substituted phenols 1a-e with methyl acetoacetate (2) can be activated by boron trifluoride dihydrate (3) to give the corresponding 4-methyl- coumarin derivatives 4a-e in excellent yield (98-99 %).

Boron trifluoride-methanol complex as a non-depurinating detritylating agent in DNA synthesis.

We have found that boron trifluoride-methanol complex (BTMC) is an effective non-depurinating detritylating agent in automated DNA synthesis. Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is at present widely used for the deprotection of the 5'-hydroxyl group prior to coupling the next nucleotide (1); however, the protected purine bases, 6'-isobutyryl-2'-deoxyguanosine and 4'-benzoyl-2'-deoxyadenosine, are unstabl...
