China and the United States are the leading exporters of boron trifluoride etherate (CAS 109-63-7), accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while Germany, Japan, and South Korea represent the most significant importing markets. Boron trifluoride etherate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from pharmaceutical and specialty chemical sectors. Exports from China have expanded modestly over the past two years, while U.S. exports have held steady, and European imports—particularly from Germany—have shown consistent growth, reflecting sustained industrial uptake.
Boron trifluoride etherate is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, chloroform-like odor; it is moisture-sensitive, moderately volatile, and has a boiling point of approximately 125–126 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is classified as a Lewis acid complex—specifically, the stable adduct of boron trifluoride (BF₃) and diethyl ether. Widely employed as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis, it facilitates reactions including Friedel–Crafts acylations, alkylations, esterifications, and polymerizations. Its principal applications are in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers, particularly where controlled BF₃ delivery is required.
Catalyst in acetylation, alkylation, polymerization, dehydration, and condensation reactions.
Colorless to brown fuming liquid.
