It is also soluble in ether, carbon sulfide, and pyridine (a colorless liquid from coal tar). It is a Lewis acid and accepts an electron pair. It is often used to break chemical bonds such as those between carbon and oxygen or nitrogen and oxygen. It also removes the oxygen atom from epoxides to form a cyclic ether.
