Borane-tetrahydrofuran complex, 1M soln. in THF, stab. with 5mmol NaBH4, Thermo Scientific™
Description
This Thermo Scientific brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific.
Applications
Borane-tetrahydrofuran complex is an important reagent used in the reduction of certain functional groups viz. aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, amide, oxime, imine and nitrile. It is also used as hydro borating agent. It acts as a borane source for oxazaborolidine catalyzed asymmetric reductions. It is utilized to reduce nylon surface amide groups to secondary amines.
Solubility
Miscible and reacts violently with water.
Notes
Air and moisture sensitive. Forms explosive peroxides in contact with air. Incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, oxidizing agents and alcohols. On hydrolysis, it forms hydrogen and boric acid.
