General description

Borane tert-butylamine complex is a mild reducing agent. It participates in the selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to corresponding alcohol.[1] It takes part as a reducing agent in the synthesis of monodisperse palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs),[2] monodisperse gold (Au) nanoparticles[3] and carbon-supported Pd electrocatalysts.[4]

Application

Borane tert-butylamine (BTB) complex may be used as strong co-reducing agent in the following syntheses:
  • copper (I) oxide nanoparticles[5]
  • diphosphine-protected gold nanocluster[6]
  • 4-acetoxycinnamyl alcohols[7]
Reactant involved in:
  • Non-destructive analyses and conservation treatments of Indian drawings
  • Dehydrogenation reactions mediated by ruthenium bidentate phosphine complexes or ruthenium / iridium bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes
  • The formation of σ-borane complexes
  • Ethanolysis of amine-borane adducts to form a reducing system for transfer hydrogenation of terminal olefins
  • Photochemical hydroboration and oxidation of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
