Bromopentafluorobenzene

Bromopentafluorobenzene is an organofluorine compound with the formula C6F5Br. It is a colorless liquid that is used to prepare pentafluophenyl compounds. These syntheses typically proceed via the intermediacy of C6F5Li or the Grignard reagent.[1] Illustrative is preparation of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane:[2]
