Product Description:

Borane tert-butylamine complex is a stable, solid adduct of borane (BH₃) with tert-butylamine. It serves as a convenient and safe source of borane for various chemical transformations, offering advantages over more hazardous gaseous diborane or complex liquid borane reagents. Its primary application is as a selective reducing agent in organic synthesis. It is particularly effective for the reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols and for the hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes. The complex is also used in reductive amination reactions and as a catalyst or reagent in other boron-mediated processes. Its solid form and air stability make it easier to handle and weigh compared to many other borane derivatives. The compound decomposes upon heating or in protic solvents to release borane, which is the active species. It is moisture-sensitive and should be stored under inert atmosphere. Typical handling involves its use in ethereal solvents like tetrahydrofuran.
