Description

General description

2-Methylpyridine borane complex is a nontoxic alternate to the reducing agent sodium cyanoborohydride.

Application

2-Methylpyridine borane complex solution (2-Picoline borane complex) was used as reducing agent for the labeling of oligosaccharides by reductive amination. It may be used in the following studies:

• Synthesis of alkoxyamine derivatives, via reduction of oxime ethers.
• Reductive amination reactions of C₁-C₁₀ aldehyde 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones.
• Synthesis of various trifluoromethylated amino compounds.
• An alternative reagent for reductive aminations.

Environmentally benign reducing agent

Reactant for:
