  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Dimethylamine‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borane (C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>F<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>B · NHMe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> (<jats:bold>1</jats:bold>) has been obtained from C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>F<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>I, Br<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>BNMe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and tris(diethylamino)phosphane in sulfolane. Alkylation using CH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>I/KOH yielded the trimethylamine‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borane (C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>F<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>B · NMe<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> (<jats:bold>2</jats:bold>). Compound <jats:bold>2</jats:bold> reacts with NEt<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>×3HF at 200—204 °C under replacement of the trimethylamine ligand to form the novel fluoro‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate anion [(C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>F<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>BF]<jats:sup>—</jats:sup> (<jats:bold>3</jats:bold>) in good yield. Side products are the hydroxy‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate [(C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>F<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>BOH]<jats:sup>—</jats:sup> (<jats:bold>4</jats:bold>) and the hydrido‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate [(C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>F<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>BH]<jats:sup>—</jats:sup> (<jats:bold>5</jats:bold>).</jats:p>
