Boron Fluoride Etherate . . . valuable catalytic chemical of wide ranging potentialities for American Industry!
This new liquid fluorine compound has a multitude of uses. Technical literature-filling volumes—contains extensive data on the reactions catalyzed by BF3 as well as by its complexes with other organic molecules. Repeated reference is made to its superiority to other catalysts since reactions are moderated and fewer undesirable by-products result.
Outlined at right are some of the prin
cipal applications for BFs as a catalyst. Perhaps they indicate ways in which you can utilize a chemical of these characteristics in your development or production program.
Boron Fluoride Etherate is commercially available in drums. For full information, contact General Chemical Company, Fluorine Division, 40 Rector Street, New York 6, Ν . Υ. When writing, if you outline your proposed application for this new catalyst, the technical experts of our Fluorine Division can work with you toward an early solution of your problem.
