product description | lithium tri-sec-butyl borohydride, the commercial form of this product is one mole solution dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. This product is widely used as a mild and highly stereoselective strong reducing agent in organic synthesis. It is used for asymmetric selective reduction of ketones to obtain alcohols. It can also be used for conjugated addition and reduction of enols 1 and 4 to obtain ketones or alcohols. It is used for selective reduction of conjugated double bonds and iodides of extracyclic propylene fine derivatives. For diesters, dehalogenated monocyclic pyrimidine, in the rearrangement of 5-trimethylsilylbain and deprotected N-methoxycarbonyl opioid substitution of N-non-opioid reactions, it is an effective de-racemization reagent, under low temperature conditions, Can effectively reduce conjugated carbonyl compounds. |
characteristics | lithium tri-sec-butyl borohydride is a new type of hydride reducing agent, which has the characteristics of strong reduction ability, high regional and stereoselectivity. |
preparation | in a 3000ml three-mouth bottle, add 1000ml of 1mol/L tri-sec-butyl boron tetrahydrofuran solution, add 1000ml of 1mol/L triethylenediamine tetrahydrofuran solution at the same time, add nitrogen to start stirring, and cool the mixture of the two to 0 ℃ in an ice water bath, 1000ml of 1mol/L lithium aluminum hydride tetrahydrofuran solution with a constant pressure funnel is slowly added to the mixture for about 10 hours. It must be kept in an ice water bath throughout the drip process. When about 500ml of lithium aluminum hydride tetrahydrofuran solution is added dropwise, white suspended matter appears in the solution. The appearance of white suspended matter is the characteristic phenomenon of this experiment. If there is no white suspended matter in the experiment, this experiment is not successful. After adding the lithium aluminum hydride tetrahydrofuran solution, continue to stir for half an hour, and filter in a 800 filter device to obtain a colorless and transparent liquid, which is detected as a product of about 0.32mol/L. |
Use | Lithium tri-sec-butyl borohydride is a particularly powerful and highly stereoselective reducing agent for diastereoselective reduction of ketone compounds, so that alcohol compounds are selectively reduced. It is also an effective de-racemization reagent, which can effectively reduce conjugated carbonyl compounds under low temperature conditions, and can be used in the pharmaceutical industry and perfume industry. |
