Product Overview

This 0.5M 9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a highly selective hydroborating agent packaged in AcroSeal® technology to prevent moisture contamination and degradation. The air-tight seal maintains reagent integrity, ensuring consistent performance in organic synthesis applications. THF serves as an optimal solvent for 9-BBN, enhancing its solubility and reactivity while minimizing side reactions. The solution is stabilized to prevent dimerization and oxidation, making it ideal for long-term storage without compromising purity. Its controlled molarity (0.5M) allows for precise stoichiometric reactions, reducing waste and improving yield reproducibility. The AcroSeal® packaging eliminates the need for inert gas handling, simplifying laboratory workflows while maintaining high reagent quality. This formulation is particularly valued for its ability to selectively reduce alkenes to alkylboranes, which can be further functionalized in downstream synthetic routes.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 9-BBN 0.5M solution in THF when stored properly?

When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, the solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this 9-BBN solution be used with air-sensitive substrates?

The AcroSeal® packaging minimizes air exposure, but for highly air-sensitive reactions, additional inert atmosphere techniques are recommended during transfer.

3. What precautions should be taken when handling this THF solution?

THF is highly flammable and may form explosive peroxides. Store away from heat and ignition sources, and use in a well-ventilated fume hood.

4. Is this solution compatible with glass reaction vessels?

Yes, but ensure the glassware is thoroughly dried and free from moisture to prevent reagent decomposition during reactions.

5. How does the AcroSeal® packaging differ from traditional septum-sealed bottles?

AcroSeal® uses a patented valve system that automatically reseals after each use, eliminating air ingress and solvent evaporation that occur with septum-sealed bottles.
