General description

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.

Application

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
