General description

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (NaBH(OAc)3) is particularly effective in reductive aminations due to its large scope, mildness, and selectivity.[1] It is preferred to sodium cyanoborohydride(NaBH3CN) in many applications due to reduced toxicity of the side products formed, and better yields and reproducibility during synthesis.

Application

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride or [NaBH(OAc)3] can be used as a reagent:
  • In the reductive amination of ketones and aldehydes.[2][3]
  • To prepare N-benzyl-γ-valerolactam by reacting with methyl 4-oxopentanoate and benzylamine via reductive amination/lactamization.[3]
  • To reduce imines and enamines to corresponding amines.[2]
  • To reduce quinolines and isoquinolines to corresponding tetrahydro derivatives.[2]
  • In the hydroboration of alkenes.[4]
  • To synthesize nitroxide biradicals for creating high relaxivity terminal groups linkage to dendrimers.[5]

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  
  1. 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

  2. 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

  5. How else can Product 316393, Sodium triacetoxyborohydride, be used as a reducing agent?

    1 answer
    1. Recently, sodium triacetoxyborohydride was used to stereoselectively reduce    4-ketoprolines to the corresponding trans-hydroxy-proline in excellent yields.  By comparison, reduction of the 4-ketoproline esters failed to provide any product.

  6. Which is better to use, Product 316393, Sodium triacetoxyborohydride, or sodium cyanoborohydride?

    1 answer
    1. It is preferred to sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) in many applications due to reduced toxicity of the side products formed, and better yields and reproducibility during synthesis. (See Chemfiles, vol 5, no. 9).   The reductive aminations of complex substrates also proceed smoothly using sodium triacetoxyborohydride.
