| Application: | Borane pyridine complex is commonly used as a reducing reagent for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones. It is the precursor to synthesize carbon-based material, BC4N. Along with iodine, it can be used as a reagent for hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes. |
| Application: | Used for: • Investigations of site energy distribution functions from Toth isotherm for adsorption of gases on heterogeneous surfaces • Preparation of α−alkyl-β-hydroxy esters • Regioselective immobilization of short oligonucleotides to acrylic copolymer gels • Preparation of Igs conjugated with viral peptide epitopes • Sintering of silicon carbide Reducing agent for high performance liquid chromatography analysis of oligosaccharides Modifier in decant oil affecting its carbonization to mesophase pitch |
