Potassium triethylborohydride - Introduction
Potassium triethylborohydride is an organic compound with the chemical formula KH[BH(C2H5)3], also known as KTEBH.
Nature:
Potassium triethylborohydride is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in water and common organic solvents. It is a relatively strong reducing compound that can easily release hydrogen. Its molecular weight is the sum of the precursor potassium and lithium borohydride, which is about 153.24.
Use:
Potassium triethylborohydride is an important reducing agent and hydrogen source in organic synthesis. It can be used for hydrogenation reactions, reduction of halogenated hydrocarbons and carbonyl compounds, etc. It is widely used in the fields of drug synthesis, fine chemical synthesis and material science.
Preparation Method:
The conventional synthesis method of Potassium triethylborohydride is to react potassium metal with lithium borohydride and triethylchloroborane in common organic solvents such as ether or toluene to form Potassium triethylborohydride.
Safety Information:
Potassium triethylborohydride is a combustible material and should be operated in a well-ventilated place. Use care to avoid contact with oxygen and water in the air to avoid flammable gases and harmful substances. When handling the compound, wear suitable protective gloves and glasses, and follow relevant procedures and safety measures.
