General description
Borane dimethyl sulfide complex (BMS) is a commonly used reagent and a mediator for hydroboration reaction for the preparation of organoborane compounds, which are utilized as key intermediates in organic synthesis. BMS is also employed as a reducing agent for the reduction of various functional groups such as aldehydes, ketones, epoxides, esters, and carboxylic acids to corresponding alcohols.
Application
Borane-dimethyl sulfide (BH3 Me2S) can be used as a reagent:
- For the selective synthesis of 1,3,5-oxygenated compounds from dimethyl 3-oxoglutarate.
- For the conversion of ozonides to alcohols.
- In the CBS-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of ferrocenyl-1,3-diketones to 1,3-diols.
- For enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral secondary alcohols in the presence of C3-symmetric tripodal hydroxyamide as a ligand.
- For the hydroboration reduction and other applications.
- With a dendrimeric supported
L -pyrrolidinol in the asymmetric reduction of indanones and tetralones.
Packaging
The 25 mL Sure/Seal™ bottle is recommended as a single-use bottle. Repeated punctures will likely result in decreased performance of product.
