Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing fluoroaryl magnesium halide which is a useful compound as a Grignard reagent used in various types of organic synthetic reactions. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a fluoroaryl borane derivative which is a useful compound as a cocatalyst for a metallocene catalyst (polymerization catalyst) used in a cation complex polymerization reaction or a catalyst for silicone photo-polymerization, for example. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Fluoroaryl magnesium halide is a useful compound as a Grignard reagent used in various types of organic synthetic reactions, for example. Also, the fluoroaryl magnesium halide is a useful compound, for example, as an intermediate of a fluoroaryl borane derivative, used in manufacturing a cocatalyst which promotes an activity of a metallocene catalyst (polymerization catalyst) used in a cation complex polymerization reaction, or a catalyst for silicone photo-polymerization. Recently, the metallocene catalyst has been receiving considerable attention as a polyolefin polymerization catalyst. Various proposals have been made as a method of synthesizing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide. For example, J. Chem. Soc., 166 (1959) discloses a method of synthesizing pentafluorophenyl magnesium bromide, which is a species compound of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide, by reacting bromopentafluorobenzene with magnesium using diethyl ether as a solvent. Also, J. Organometal. Chem., 11, 619-622 (1968) and J. Organometal. Chem., 26, 153-156 (1971) disclose a method of synthesizing pentafluorophenyl magnesium halide, which is a species compound of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide, by a Grignard exchange reaction of fluoroaryl halide (chloropentafluorobenzene, bromopentafluorobenzene, and iodopentafluorobenzene) and ethyl magnesium halide using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent. Also, US Patent No. 5,693,261 discloses a method of synthesizing pentafluorophenyl magnesium halide by a Grignard exchange reaction of chloropentafluorobenzene and isopropyl magnesium halide. On the other hand, Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 295985/1997 (Japanese Official Gazette, Tokukaihei No. 9-295985, published on November 18, 1997) discloses a method of preparing fluoroaryl magnesium halide (Grignard reagent) by reacting fluoroaryl halide with magnesium using alkyl halide as a catalyst. However, in the method of synthesizing pentafluorophenyl magnesium bromide disclosed in J. Chem. Soc., 166 (1959) supra, the synthesis pentafluorophenyl magnesium bromide is colored considerably with coloring components produced by the side reaction or the like. For this reason, when a fluoroaryl borane derivative is synthesized by using the pentafluorophenyl magnesium bromide as a Grignard reagent, a colored fluoroaryl borane derivative is produced as the final product unless the coloring components are removed. The method for manufacturing pentafluorophenyl magnesium halide disclosed in J. Organometal. Chem., 11, 619-622 (1968) and J. Organometal. Chem., 26, 153-156 (1971) supra use THF as the solvent. However, the fluoroaryl borane derivative synthesized using a THF solution of the resulting pentafluorophenyl magnesium halide includes strong Lewis acids, for example. Thus, there is a problem that the resulting fluoroaryl borane derivatives trigger ring-opening polymerization of THF used as the solvent or causes a large amount of by-product to be produced. Also, the method for manufacturing pentafluorophenyl magnesium halide disclosed in US Patent No. 5,693,261 supra has a problem that, because chloropentafluorobenzene has poor reactivity, at room temperature chloropentafluorobenzene has to be used excessively with respect to isopropyl magnesium halide. Further, this method has another problem that it demands a step of removing the excessively used chloropentafluorobenzene from the final product (commercial goods). The method of preparing the Grignard reagent disclosed in Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 295985/1997 supra has a problem that, although the coloring of the resulting Grignard reagent is slightly reduced if diethyl ether is used as the solvent (reaction solvent) , the resulting Grignard reagent is still colored black. Also, the reaction hardly proceeds if any other kind of ether solvents is used. Generally, diethyl ether is used as a solvent when preparing the Grignard reagent from fluoroaryl halide and magnesium. However, reaction heat produced in the reaction of bromopewtafluorobenzene and magnesium is so large (89 Kcal/mol) that the reaction is not readily controlled. Particularly, diethyl ether involves a safety problem because it is a highly inflammable compound with a low boiling point. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is devised to solve the above problems and has an object to provide a method of safely, efficiently, and industrially manufacturing fluoroaryl magnesium halide containing no impurities, such as coloring components, by a relatively gradual reaction compared with the conventional reactions. The present invention has another object to provide a method of readily and efficiently manufacturing a fluoroaryl borane derivative at high purity, which is a useful compound as a cocatalyst for a metallocene catalyst or a catalyst for silicone photo-polymerization. The inventors of the present invention conducted an assiduous study of the method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide and the method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl borane derivative.

Also, the inventors discovered that the reaction proceeds particularly in a preferable manner in a solvent containing an ether solvent other than diethyl ether. Further, the inventors achieved the present invention when they discovered that, by reacting the fluoroaryl magnesium halide obtained by the above method with a boron compound, a highly-pure fluoroaryl borane derivative containing no impurities, such as coloring components, can be manufactured readily and efficiently.

Also, the effects of the present invention will be explained clearly in the following description. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS A method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide expressed by General Formula (1) above of the present invention is a method of reacting the hydrocarbon magnesium halide expressed by General Formula (2) above (hereinafter, referred to as hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2)) with the fluoroaryl halide expressed by General Formula (3) above by a Grignard exchange reaction. The resulting fluoroaryl magnesium halide is a suitable compound as an intermediate in manufacturing a fluoroaryl borane derivative. The fluoroaryl magnesium halide to be manufactured in the present invention is a compound whose substituent groups denoted as R 1 through R 5 in General Formula (1) above are independently a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a hydrocarbon group, or an alkoxy group, provided that at least three of R 1 -R 5 are fluorine atoms, and whose substituent group denoted as X a is a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom. Examples of the hydrocarbon group include an aryl group, a straight-chain, branched-chain or cyclic alkyl group having up to 12 carbon atoms, and a straight-chain, branched-chain or cyclic alkenyl group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon group may further include a functional group (inactive functional group) having atoms inactive to the reactions taking place in the present invention, such as a fluorine atom, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, and a nitrogen atom. Examples of such a functional group include a methoxy group, a methylthio group, an N,N-dimethylamino group, an o-anise group, a p-anise group, a trimethylsilyloxy group, a dimethyl-t-butylsilyloxy group, a trifluoromethyl group, etc. The alkoxy group is expressed by General Formula (A) : -OR a where R a represents a hydrocarbon group. Examples of the hydrocarbon group denoted as R a in General Formula (A) include an aryl group, a straight-chain, branched-chain, cyclic alkyl group having up to 12 carbon atoms, or a straight-chain, branched-chain, cyclic alkenyl group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon group may further include a functional group inactive to the reactions taking place in the present invention. Examples of the alkoxy group expressed by General Formula (A) above include: a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, an n-propoxy group, an isopropoxy group, an n-butoxy group, an isobutoxy group, a sec-butoxy group, a t-butoxy group, a cyclohexyloxy group, an allyloxy group, a phenoxy group, etc. Also, examples of the alkylalkoxy group are alkoxy groups, including a straight-chain, branched-chain, or cyclic alkyl group having up to 12 carbons. The alkylalkoxy group may further include a functional group inactive to the reactions taking place in the present invention. The following description will describe in detail a method for manufacturing fluoroaryl magnesium halide of the present invention. Examples of the fluoroaryl halide expressed by General Formula (3) above include: bromopentafluorobenzene, iodopentafluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,3,4,6-tetrafluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,3,4,6-tetrafluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,3,4-trifluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,3,5-trifluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,4,5-trifluorobenzene, 1-bromo-2,4,6-trifluorobenzene, 1-bromo-3,4,5-trifluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,3,4-trifluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,3,5,-trifluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,4,5-trifluorobenzene, 1-iodo-2,4,6-trifluorobenzene, 1-iodo-3,4,5-trifluorobenzene, etc. It should be noted that fluoroaryl halide, in which at least three of the substituent groups denoted as R 1 -R 5 in General Formula (3) above are not fluorine atoms, does not undergo the Grignard exchange reaction with the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2). Examples of hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) include: phenyl magnesium chloride, phenyl magnesium bromide, phenyl magnesium iodide, methyl magnesium chloride, methyl magnesium bromide, methyl magnesium iodide, ethyl magnesium chloride, ethyl magnesium bromide, ethyl magnesium iodide, n-propyl magnesium chloride, n-propyl magnesium bromide, n-propyl magnesium iodide, isopropyl magnesium chloride, isopropyl magnesium bromide, isopropyl magnesium iodide, n-butyl magnesium chloride, n-butyl magnesium bromide, n-butyl magnesium iodide, allyl magnesium chloride, allyl magnesium bromide, allyl magnesium iodide, cyclohexyl magnesium chloride, cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, cyclohexyl magnesium iodide, etc. Of all these examples of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2), particularly preferable are: phenyl magnesium chloride, phenyl magnesium bromide, phenyl magnesium iodide, ethyl magnesium chloride, ethyl magnesium bromide, ethyl magnesium iodide, n-propyl magnesium chloride, n-propyl magnesium bromide, n-propyl magnesium iodide, isopropyl magnesium chloride, isopropyl magnesium bromide, isopropyl magnesium iodide, allyl magnesium chloride, allyl magnesium bromide, allyl magnesium iodide, cyclohexyl magnesium chloride, cyclohexyl magnesium bromide, and cyclohexyl magnesium iodide. A ratio of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) to the fluoroaryl halide is not especially limited. However, in case that the fluoroaryl magnesium halide is manufactured to selectively manufacture tris(fluoroaryl)borane, the ratio is preferably in a range between 0.8 and 2.0 equivalents, and more preferably in a range between 0.9 and 1.5 equivalent. When the ratio is less than 0.8 equivalent, a large amount of unreacted fluoroaryl halide may remain in the tris(fluoroaryl)borane obtained as the final product. It is difficult to remove the fluoroaryl magnesium halide from the final product, and the final product may lose a commercial value. When the ratio exceeds 2.0 equivalents, a large amount of unreacted hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) may remain in the final product. On the other hand, in case that the fluoroaryl magnesium halide is manufactured to selectively manufacture the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound, the ratio is preferably in a range between 0.8 and 2.0 equivalents, and more preferably in a range between 0.9 and 1.5 equivalent. When the ratio is less than 0.8 equivalent, the yield of the tetrakis (fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound as the final product may be lowered. When the ratio exceeds 2.0 equivalents, a large amount of unreacted hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) may remain in the final product. It is time-consuming to remove the unreacted compounds from the final product. Therefore, in order to use the fluoroaryl halide in the following step without leaving any unreacted fluoroaryl halide nor causing a problem of removing the unreacted hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) therefrom, the reaction is conducted by setting the ratio of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) to the fluoroaryl halide to be in a range between 1 and 1.2 equivalent. The reaction of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) with the fluoroaryl halide is conducted in a solvent containing a chain ether solvent. The solvent containing the chain ether solvent is not especially limited as long as it is a liquid compound which remains inactive to the reactions taking place in the present invention, and in which the fluoroaryl halide and-hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) can be dissolved or suspended. Examples of the chain ether solvent include aliphatic ether solvents, such as diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, t-butyl methyl ether, diisoamyl ether, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and 1,2-diethoxyethane. One member or a mixture of two or more members selected from these examples can be effectively used. Further, these examples of the chain ether solvent may be in the form of a mixed solvent with solvents of the other kinds, including: an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, such as pentane, hexane, and heptane; an alicyclic hydrocarbon solvent, such as cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and methyl cyclohexane; an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and anisole; etc. Also, the chain ether solvent can be mixed with a cyclic ether, such as tetrahydrofuran, to the extent that ring-opening polymerization and production of a by-product are inhibited. The chain ether solvent can be mixed with one member or a mixture of two or more members selected from the foregoing solvents of the other kinds. The solvent referred to hereinafter means a solvent containing the chain ether solvent unless otherwise specified. Compared with conventional reactions (for example, a reaction of bromopentafluorobenzene and magnesium), a reaction of the fluoroaryl halide and hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) yields small reaction heat, and therefore, proceeds gradually. Thus, in the method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide of the present invention, the reaction can be readily controlled and conducted smoothly in the solvent. Hence, a mixed solvent of the chain ether solvent and another solvent having a higher boiling point than the chain ether solvent can be used, for example, thereby making it possible to conduct the reaction more safely. A ratio (concentration) of the chain ether solvent to the solvent containing the same is not especially limited as long as the reaction can proceed smoothly. However, the ratio is preferably 1.0 wt% or greater, more preferably 5.0 wt% or greater, and most preferably 10.0 wt% or greater. When the ratio is less than 1.0 wt%, the efficiency of the reaction becomes poor because of an increased amount of the solvent, and the reaction rate may become extremely slow. An amount of used solvent is not especially limited as long as the fluoroaryl halide and hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) can be dissolved or suspended therein and the reaction can proceed smoothly. However, the amount is such that a concentration of the synthesis fluoroaryl magnesium halide in the reaction solution is preferably in a range between 0.1 and 80 wt%, more preferably in a range between 1.0 and 70 wt%, and most preferably in a range between 5.0 and 60 wt%. When the concentration is less than 0.1 wt%, the efficiency of the reaction becomes poor because of an increased amount of the solvent, and the reaction rate may become extremely slow. When the concentration exceeds 80 wt%, the fluoroaryl magnesium halide may precipitate in the solution and become difficult to handle. The method of mixing the fluoroaryl halide with the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) is not especially limited. For example, a solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) can be dropped to the fluoroaryl halide or a solution thereof, or the fluoroaryl halide or a solution thereof can be dropped to a solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2). Further, the fluoroaryl halide or a solution thereof and a solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2) can be dropped to the solvent. The reaction temperature of the above reaction is not especially limited. However, the reaction temperature is preferably at or above -30°C and at or below the refluxing temperature of the solvent, more preferably at or above -20°C and at or below 200°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower, and most preferably at or above -10°C and at or below 100°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower. The reaction time and pressure of the above reaction are not especially limited, and can be set arbitrary in such a manner so as to complete the reaction depending on the other conditions, including the reaction temperature, an amount of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2), an amount of the fluoroaryl halide, a combination of these compounds, the composition of the solvent, etc. Thus, the reaction is conducted under any of a normal pressure, an applied pressure or a reduced pressure. Further, the reaction is preferably conducted under an inert gas atmosphere, such as a nitrogen gas. By conducting the Grignard exchange reaction, the fluoroaryl magnesium halide expressed by General Formula (1) above is manufactured. The fluoroaryl magnesium halide manufactured by the above reaction is a useful compound used as a Grignard reagent or the like used in various types of organic synthesis reactions. For example, the fluoroaryl magnesium halide is used as an intermediate in producing a fluoroaryl borane derivative which will be described below. In case that the fluoroaryl magnesium halide used as the intermediate is colored by coloring components produced as impurities by a side-reaction or the like, the resulting fluoroaryl borane derivative is also colored by the coloring components. However, according to the method for manufacturing the present invention, the fluoroaryl magnesium halide can be synthesized by a gradual reaction which yields small reaction heat, and therefore, no impurities, such as the coloring-components, are not produced. Thus, the above manufacturing method can provide fluoroaryl magnesium halide useful as the Grignard reagent or the like used in various types of organic synthesis reactions. By the method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide of the present invention, not only the fluoroaryl magnesium halide as the target product, but also alkyl halide is produced. However, the alkyl halide does not give any adverse effect to the performance of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide used as the Grignard reagent. Hence, it is not necessary to remove the alkyl halide before the fluoroaryl borane derivative is manufactured using the fluoroaryl magnesium halide. For instance, the alkyl halide can be distilled out with the solvent by heating while the fluoroaryl borane derivative is manufactured. A mole ratio of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide expressed by General Formula (1) above and the boron compound (fluoroaryl magnesium halide/boron compound) is not especially limited. However, the mole ratio is preferably in a range between 1.0 and 5.0. In case that the tris(fluoroaryl)borane expressed by General Formula (5) above is selectively manufactured as the fluoroaryl borane derivative, the mole ratio is more preferably in a range between 2.0 and 3.4, and most preferably in a range between 2.5 and 3.3. On the other hand, in case that the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound expressed by General Formula (6) above is selectively manufactured as the fluoroaryl borane derivative, the mole ratio is more preferably in a range between 3.5 and 5.0, and most preferably in a range between 3.7 and 4.5. The reaction of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide and boron compound is conducted by mixing the boron compound or a solution thereof with a solution (reaction solution) of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide obtained by synthesizing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide. In other words, the reaction is conducted in the solvent used in manufacturing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide. From the view point of safety alone, a solvent containing the chain ether solvent except for diethyl ether is used preferably as the solvent in general. In this case, however, the following problems may arise with the reaction of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide and boron compound: (1) the reaction rate may be extremely slow; (2) the yield of the trisfluoroaryl borane or tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound is reduced by a side-reaction. Nevertheless, the reaction activity can be upgraded by conducting the reaction in the presence of 0.5 - 3.0 equivalents of diethyl ether (it may be in the form of a complex with the boron compound) with respect to the fluoroaryl magnesium halide. An amount of used solvent is not especially limited as long as the fluoroaryl magnesium halide and boron compound can be dissolved or suspended therein and the reaction can proceed smoothly. Also, in case that the boron compound is mixed in the form of a solution, the solvent used to produce the solution is of the same or different compound used in manufacturing the fluoroaryl magnesium halide. Further, the reaction solution can be diluted with addition of the solvent, or the solvent exchange can be conducted by adding a solvent different from the one used for the reaction and then distilling out the one used for the reaction, as the case may be. The method of mixing a solution of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide with the boron compound is not especially limited. For example, in case that the tris(fluoroaryl)borane is manufactured selectively, it is preferable to drop a solution of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide to the boron compound or a solution thereof. On the other hand, in case that the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound is selectively manufactured, the boron compound or a solution thereof may be dropped to a solution of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide, or a solution of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide may be dropped to the boron compound or a solution thereof. Further, a solution of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide-and the boron compound or a solution thereof may be added to the solvent. The mixing temperature at which a solution of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide is mixed with the boron compound is preferably in a range between -30°C and 50°C, and more preferably in a range between -10°C and 40°C in case that the tris(fluoroaryl)borane is selectively manufactured. If the mixing temperature is below -30°C, the reaction rate may become extremely slow, and if the mixing temperature exceeds 50°C, the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound may be yielded as a by-product. On the other hand, in case that the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound is selectively manufactured, the mixing temperature is preferably at or above -30°C and at or below the refluxing temperature of the solvent, and more preferably at or above -20°C and at or below 200°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower, and most preferably at or above -10°C and at or below 150°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower. The reaction temperature of the above reaction is not especially limited. However, the reaction temperature is preferably at or above -30°C and at or below the refluxing temperature of the solvent. For example, in case that the tris(fluoroaryl)borane is manufactured selectively, the reaction temperature is more preferably at or above -20°C and at or below 150°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower, and most preferably at or above -10°C and at or below 100°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower. If the reaction temperature is below -30°C, the reaction rate may become extremely slow. On the other hand, if the reaction temperature exceeds 150°C (or the refluxing temperature), the tris(fluoroaryl)borane may decompose. In case that the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate-magnesium compound is manufactured selectively, the reaction temperature is more preferably at or above 0°C and at or below 200°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower, and most preferably at or above 30°C and at or below 150°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower. If the reaction temperature is below -30°C, the reaction rate may become extremely slow. On the other hand, if the reaction temperature exceeds 200°C (or the refluxing temperature), the tetrakis(fluoroaryl) borate·magnesium compound may decompose. The reaction time and pressure of the above reaction are not especially limited, and can be set in such a manner so as to complete the reaction depending on the other reaction conditions, including the reaction temperature, an amount of the fluoroaryl magnesium halide, an amount of the boron compound, a combination of these compounds, the composition of the solvent, etc. Hence, the reaction is conducted under any of a normal pressure, an applied pressure, or a reduced pressure. Further, the reaction is preferably conducted under an inert gas atmosphere, such as a nitrogen gas. Furthermore, the solvent and/or the alkyl halide produced as a by-product when the fluoroaryl magnesium halide was produced can be distilled out during or after the reaction, as the case may be. Alternately, the solvent exchange can be conducted during or after the reaction. By conducting the Grignard reaction, either the tris(fluoroaryl)borane expressed by General Formula (5) above or the tetrakis(fluoroaryl)borate·magnesium compound expressed by General Formula (6) above is selectively manufactured. The method for manufacturing the present invention can manufacture tris(fluoroaryl)borane and a tetrakis(fluoroaryl) borate·magnesium compound containing no impurities, such as coloring components. Next, the following will explain in detail the method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl borate·magnesium halide derivative as the fluoroaryl borane derivative of the present invention. Examples of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) include: besides the compounds specified as examples of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (2), p-fluorophenyl magnesium bromide, 2,6-difluorophenyl magnesium bromide, 2,4,6-trifluorophenyl magnesium bromide, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl magnesium bromide, etc. A ratio of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) to the tris(fluoroaryl)borane expressed by General Formula (5) above is not especially limited. However, the ratio is preferably 0.5 equivalent or greater, more preferably in a range between 0.5 and 5.0 equivalents, and most preferably in a range between 1.0 and 3.0 equivalents. If the ratio is smaller than 0.5 equivalents, a large amount of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane may remain unreacted. If the ratio exceeds 5.0 equivalents, a large amount of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) may remain unreacted. It is time-consuming to remove these unreacted compounds. The reaction of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane and hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) is conducted by mixing a solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) with a solution (reaction solution) of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane obtained by synthesizing the tris(fluoroaryl)borane. In other words, the reaction is conducted in the solvent used in manufacturing the tris(fluoroaryl)borane. From the view point of safety alone, a solvent containing the chain ether solvent except for diethyl ether is used preferably as the solvent in general. In this case, however, the following problems may arise with the reaction of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane and the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7): (1) the reaction rate may be extremely slow; (2) the yield of the fluoroaryl borate·magnesium compound may be lowered by a side-reaction. Nevertheless, the reaction activity can be upgraded by conducting the reaction in the presence of 0.5 - 3.0 equivalents of diethyl ether (it may be in the form of a complex with the (fluoroaryl)borane) with respect to the tris(fluoroaryl)borane. An amount of used solvent is not especially limited as long as the tris(fluoroaryl)borane and hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) can be dissolved or suspended therein and the reaction can proceed smoothly. Also, for example, the solvent used in producing a solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) may be of the same or different compound used in manufacturing the tris(fluoroaryl)borane. Further, the reaction solution can be diluted with addition of the solvent, or the solvent exchange can be conducted by adding a solvent different from the one used for the reaction and then distilling out the one used for the reaction, as the case may be. The method of mixing a solution of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane and a solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) is not especially limited. For example, the solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) may be dropped to the solution of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane, or the solution of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane may be dropped to the solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7). Further, the solution of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane and the solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) may be dropped to the solvent. The mixing temperature at which the solution of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane and the solution of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7) is not especially limited. However, the mixing temperature is preferably at or above -30°C and at or below the refluxing temperature of the solvent, and more preferably at or above -20°C and at or below 200°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower, and most preferably at or above -10°C and at or below 150°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower. The reaction temperature of the above reaction is not especially limited. However, the reaction temperature is preferably at or above -30°C and at or below the refluxing temperature of the solvent, more preferably at or above 0°C and at or below 200°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower, and most preferably at or above 30°C and at or below 150°C or the refluxing temperature, whichever is the lower. If the reaction temperature is below -30°C, the reaction rate may become extremely slow. On the other hand, if the reaction temperature exceeds 200°C (or the refluxing temperature), the fluoroaryl borate·magnesium halide derivative may decompose. The reaction time and pressure of the above reaction are not especially limited, and can be set in such a manner so as to complete the reaction depending on the other reaction conditions, including the reaction temperature, an amount of the tris(fluoroaryl)borane, an amount of the hydrocarbon magnesium halide (7), a combination of these compounds, the composition of the solvent, etc. Hence, the reaction is conducted under any of a normal pressure, an applied pressure, or a reduced pressure. Further, the reaction is preferably conducted under an inert gas atmosphere, such as a nitrogen gas. Furthermore, the solvent and/or the alkyl halide produced as a by-product when the fluoroaryl magnesium halide was produced can be distilled out during or after the reaction, as the case may be. Alternately, the solvent exchange can be conducted during or after the reaction. By conducting the Grignard reaction, the fluoroaryl borate-magnesium halide derivative expressed by General Formula (8) above is manufactured. The method for manufacturing the present invention can manufacture a fluoroaryl borate·magnesium halide derivative containing no impurities, such as coloring components. According to the method for manufacturing the fluoroaryl borane derivative of the present invention, a highly-pure fluoroaryl borane derivative containing no impurities, such as coloring components, can be manufactured readily and efficiently. In addition, The following will explain in detail the present invention by way of Examples and Comparative Examples without any intention to limit the scope thereof.

Meanwhile, 0.729 mol of bromopentafluorobenzene is charged to the dropping funnel as the fluoroaryl halide. Then, bromopentafluorobenzene in the dropping funnel was dropped to the reaction vessel over 90 minutes at room temperature, and the reaction solution was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. Consequently, pentafluorophenyl magnesium bromide as the fluoroaryl magnesium halide was obtained in the form of a colorless diethyl ether solution.
