Application

Reactant used as a regioselective reducing agentReactant involved in: Hydroboration / oxidationSynthesis of cage compounds

Borane dimethyl sulfide complex (BMS) solution may be used in the following studies:One-pot conversion of alkynes into 1,2-diols.Preparation of iminopentitols. Reduction of representative organic functional groups, such as esters, nitriles and amides. Used along with a dendrimeric supported L-pyrrolidinol in the asymmetric reduction of indanones and tetralones. Asymmetric reduction of ferrocenyl-1,3-diketones to chiral 1,3-diols. Highly enantioselective reduction of ketones catalyzed by C₃-symmetric tripodal hydroxyamides.

General description

Borane dimethyl sulfide complex (BMS) acts as a highly efficient and selective reducing agent in the presence of catalytic sodium tetrahydroborate for α-hydroxy esters. Asymmetric borane reduction of a variety of prochiral ketones with BMS using spiroborate esters as catalyst has been reported.
