Product Overview
Triethylborane 1M solution in THF is a highly reactive organoborane compound supplied in a stabilized tetrahydrofuran solvent system. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures air-free handling and extended shelf life by maintaining an inert nitrogen atmosphere. This reagent is particularly valued for its ability to participate in hydroboration reactions with high regioselectivity, making it indispensable for synthesizing complex organic molecules. The THF solvent enhances solubility while maintaining the compound’s reactivity. The solution is stored under nitrogen to prevent oxidation and decomposition, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive applications. Its 1M concentration provides an optimal balance between reactivity and ease of handling, allowing for precise stoichiometric control in experimental procedures. The reagent’s stability under inert conditions makes it suitable for long-term storage without significant degradation, provided proper handling protocols are followed. This product is manufactured under stringent quality control measures to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and minimal impurity levels.
FAQs
1. What precautions should be taken when handling Triethylborane solution?
This compound is extremely pyrophoric and must be handled under an inert atmosphere using proper protective equipment. Always use in a well-ventilated fume hood.
2. How should this solution be stored for maximum stability?
Store the sealed container at 2-8°C under nitrogen atmosphere. Avoid exposure to air or moisture to prevent decomposition.
3. Can this solution be used directly for hydroboration reactions?
Yes, the 1M concentration is suitable for direct use in hydroboration reactions without further dilution in most cases.
4. What is the typical shelf life of this product?
When stored properly under nitrogen at recommended temperatures, the solution maintains its specifications for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.
5. Are there any special disposal requirements for this reagent?
Follow standard procedures for organoborane disposal. Neutralize with appropriate reagents before disposal according to local chemical waste regulations.
