General description

R-Alpine-Borane® is a chiral reducing agent, synthesized from (+)-α-pinene via hydroboration.[1][2]

Application

R- and S-Alpine-Boranes are used for asymmetric reduction of aldehydes[3][4] and prochiral ketones.[5][6][4]
R-Alpine-Borane® solution may be used to prepare:
  • (R)-5-(Benzyloxy)pent-3-y-2-ol, an intermediate for the stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-stagonolide D.[7]
  • (R)-1-(p-Tolyl)-1-pentyn-3-ol, an intermediate for the enatioselective synthesis of (R)-incrustoporin.[8]
  • N-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-(4S)-[4-2H]-1-L-homoserine tert-butyl ester, an intermediate for synthesizing (4S)-[4-2H]-L-homoserine.[9]
