Boron triiodide is used as pharmaceutical, chemical and organic intermediate. It is also used as a catalyst and for preparation of boron compounds. | [Preparation]
Boron triiodide can be synthesized by refluxing lithium borohydride and iodine in hexane, or by reacting alkali metal borohydride with iodine at a suitable temperature. | [General Description]
Boron triiodide is a strong Lewis acid. It can be prepared by treating iodine (I2) with potassium borohydride (KBH4) in heptane. |
