Lewis acidity is a molecule’s tendency to accept a pair of electrons. Trivalent boron compounds are archetypical Lewis acids due to the presence of a vacant p orbital, leading to many uses in organic synthesis. For example, boron trihalides use their intrinsic Lewis acidity to accept ether oxygen...
