<p>One aspect of the invention is a process for purifying a pentafluorophenyl boron compound from a crude mixture comprised of the pentafluorophenyl boron compound and impurities, the impurirtes at least comprised of an ether and water, the process comprising: (a) mixing the crude mixture with an azeotropic organic solvent which (i) is capable of azeotrope formation with the water and (ii) has a boiling point above the boiling point of the ether; (b) distilling the resulting solution to remove at least a portion of the impurities; and (c) cooling the distilled solution so that a precipitate comprised of the pentafluorophenyl boron compound is formed. Processes are also described for producing pentafluorophenyl boron compounds which are particularly pure, dry and fine.</p> |
