Abstract Acyloxyfluoroboranes Trimeric alkoxydifluoroboranes (F2BOR)3 (2) react with organic acid anhydrides by substitution of a ring group OR forming monocyclic acyloxyfluoroboranes of the type 2,2,6,6-tetrafluoro-l,4-dialkyl-l,3,5-trioxa-2,6-diboracyclohexene (3). The X-ray crystal structure determination of 3a shows two conformational isomers: two planar and two non-planar six-membered rings are present in the unit cell. The ring conformation is influenced by weak intermolecular H — F interactions.
