Application

Lithium Aminoborohydride (LAB) Reagents

  • Reducing agent for reduction of carbonic and carboxylic acid derivatives
  • Reagent for reduction-amination reactions
Capable of reducing a variety of fuctional groups.
LABs can transfer the amine moiety, as in the case of the reaction with halopyridines and primary alkyl methanesulfonates.

Lithium aminoborohydride (LAB) reagents initiate the amination or reduction of alkyl methanesulfonate esters, as dictated by reaction conditions. Alkyl methanesulfonate esters treated with unhindered LABs provide tertiary amines in excellent yield. Reduction to the corresponding alkane is achieved using a

here are many optically active organic compounds of biological and medicinal significance. For example, statine analogs, antibiotics, anesthetics, heterocyclic compounds, unusual amino acids, and insect pheromones all contain stereogenic centers. There is, therefore, a continuous need for new asymmetric methodology.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
