Acylboranes are among the most elusive boron-containing organic functional groups, a fact that has impeded development of new reactions employing them as substrates. A new synthesis of acyltrifluoroborates from benzotriazole (Bt)-based N,O-acetals has been developed. Two other routes provide acyltrifluoroborates containing alcohols, aldehydes, and carbamates. The ketone-like reactivity of the acyltrifluoroborate functional group is demonstrated, and the first X-ray structure of an acyltrifluoroborate is reported.

New bifunctional potassium acyltrifluoroborate (KAT) substrates have been synthesized in gram scale using optimized reaction conditions. Chemoselective transformation of functional groups in the presence of an acyltrifluoroborate has been demonstrated, and orthogonalreactions of bifunctional KAT reagents are reported. This allows for the incorporation of KAT moieties into peptides and dyes.
