Borane-tert-butylamine complex is used in stereoselective reduction of a steroidal ketone and for a review of amine boranes as selective reducing and hydroborating agents. It is also used as strong co-reducing agent in the syntheses of copper (I) oxide nanoparticles, diphosphine-protected gold nanocluster and 4-acetoxycinnamyl alcohols.
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
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.
