The United States and Germany are the leading exporters of Boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuran (CAS 70157-12-9), collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments, while China, South Korea, and Japan represent the largest importing markets. Boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuran prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from specialty chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors. Trade volumes have shown consistent year-on-year growth since 2022, with emerging import activity from India and Taiwan reflecting expanding regional fine chemical production capacity.
Boron trifluoride tetrahydrofuran is a colorless to pale yellow, fuming liquid with a pungent, acrid odor and moderate volatility. It is a stable Lewis acid complex formed between boron trifluoride and tetrahydrofuran, classified as an organoboron reagent and catalytic intermediate. It is widely employed as a mild, soluble source of BF₃ in organic synthesis—particularly for Friedel–Crafts acylations, alkylations, and cyclization reactions—due to its enhanced handling safety and controlled reactivity compared to gaseous BF₃. Its primary applications are in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers, where it serves as a catalyst or promoter in key bond-forming steps.
