Description

General description

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

Application

Borane tert-butylamine (BTB) complex may be used as strong co-reducing agent in the following syntheses:

• copper (I) oxide nanoparticles
• diphosphine-protected gold nanocluster
• 4-acetoxycinnamyl alcohols

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
