Abstract: Carbon‐carbon bond forming reactions are powerful synthetic tools for constructing organic molecular frameworks. In this study, strongly Lewis acidic bis(pentafluorophenyl)boron enolates were generated from alkynes through oxygen transfer from 2,6‐dibromopyridine N‐oxide using tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(C6F5)3]. Boron enolates were highly reactive owing to the strong Lewis acidity of the boron centers, and thus immediately coupled with alkynes. N‐Ethynylphthalimide reacted as an alkyne with 2,6‐dibromopyridine N‐oxide and B(C6F5)3 to form a semi‐stable bis(pentafluorophenyl)boron enolate through the coordination of the carbonyl group to the boron center. This enolate underwent coupling with another alkyne. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
