Boron trichloride, BCl3, is a colourless, toxic gas. It is used in the manufacture of pure boron, and has several uses in metallurgy. It is also a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, particularly as a Lewis acid and for cleaving the carbon–oxygen bond in ethers: in the laboratory, it is normally handled as its dimethyl sulfide adduct.
