| Application: | 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 • Asymmetric reduction of ferrocenyl-1,3-diketones to chiral 1,3-diols. • Highly enantioselective reduction of ketones catalyzed by C3-symmetric tripodal hydroxyamides. |
| Application: | Reactant used as a regioselective reducing agent Reactant involved in: • Hydroboration / oxidation Synthesis of cage compounds |
| 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. |
