This study investigates the potential of boron trifluoride etherate (BF·OEt) to trigger unprecedented reactions of 2-oxoaldehydes with nitriles and amides/sulphonamides. In contrast to the mechanism in conventional reactions, the α-carbonyl group in 2-oxoaldehydes induces a cyclization pathway to be followed when reacting with nitriles, yielding 4-amidooxazoles. Additionally, reactions with weak nucleophiles produce β-keto amides/sulphonamides.

The electrochromic phenomenon of conducting polymer is mainly dominated by the π-π* band transition. The π conjugation is influenced by the coplanarity between polymer units, deviations from which can lead to an increased ionization potential and band gap values. In order to investigate the effect of plane distortion angle on electrochromic color in the main chain structure of polymerization, high-performance poly(3,3'-dimethyl-2,2'-bithiophene) (PDMeBTh) with a large plane distortion angle is successfully synthesized in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE) by the electrochemical anodic oxidation method.

The quest for efficient and versatile methods for heterocycle synthesis continues to drive innovation in organic chemistry. In this context, the cyclization of alkynes catalyzed or mediated by boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF·OEt) has emerged as a powerful and widely applicable strategy. This review provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of BF·OEt-catalyzed/mediated alkyne cyclization reactions, covering the scope, mechanisms, and applications of these processes.

A study of saturated vapor over the pyridine -oxide-boron trifluoride (PyO-BF) adduct was carried out at = 448(5) K by a synchronous gas electron diffraction/mass spectrometry (GED/MS) experiment. Due to the absence of ions in the mass spectrum, indicating the presence of a structure with an O-B dative bond, several models of vapor composition were tested by the GED method. It was found that the dominant molecular form (up to 100%) in vapor is the PyO-BF adduct.
