Product Overview
Borane-N,N-diethylaniline complex is a high-purity (97%) reagent designed for precise laboratory applications, particularly in selective reductions and hydroboration reactions. This complex offers enhanced stability compared to traditional borane sources, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging provides an airtight, moisture-resistant barrier, preserving the reagent’s integrity during storage and handling. Its liquid form allows for easy dispensing and accurate volume measurement, making it ideal for applications requiring controlled stoichiometry. The complex’s structure enables mild reaction conditions, reducing the risk of side reactions while maintaining high yields. Compatible with a wide range of solvents, this reagent is particularly effective in ether-based systems. Its stability at room temperature simplifies storage requirements, though long-term storage under inert conditions is recommended for optimal shelf life. The 100ML pack size offers a practical balance between experimental needs and cost efficiency, making it suitable for both small-scale research and larger preparative work.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of borane-N,N-diethylaniline complex?
When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, the complex maintains its specified purity for at least 12 months. For extended storage, refrigeration under inert atmosphere is recommended.
2. Can this complex be used with protic solvents?
The reagent is generally incompatible with protic solvents like alcohols or water, as these can lead to premature decomposition. Aprotic solvents like THF or diethyl ether are preferred for most applications.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this product?
Standard laboratory safety measures should be followed, including use in a fume hood, wearing appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles), and avoiding inhalation or skin contact. The complex is moisture-sensitive and pyrophoric in air.
4. How does this compare to borane-THF complex?
This diethylaniline complex offers greater thermal stability and reduced volatility compared to borane-THF, making it more suitable for reactions requiring prolonged heating or higher temperatures.
5. What’s the recommended disposal method for unused material?
Unused complex should be quenched carefully with methanol or ethanol in a well-ventilated area, then neutralized before disposal according to local chemical waste regulations.
