Product Overview

(S)-(-)-2-Methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine is a highly efficient chiral catalyst supplied as a 1M solution in toluene, designed for asymmetric reductions with exceptional enantioselectivity. This reagent is widely recognized for its ability to facilitate stereoselective transformations, making it indispensable in advanced organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures minimal exposure to moisture and air, preserving the reagent’s reactivity and shelf life. The solution is compatible with a broad range of functional groups, enabling precise control over stereochemical outcomes in complex molecular architectures. Its high purity and consistent performance make it a preferred choice for demanding synthetic applications where optical purity is critical. The toluene solvent enhances solubility and stability, while the sealed packaging mitigates degradation risks associated with atmospheric exposure. Ideal for researchers requiring reproducible results in asymmetric catalysis, this product delivers reliability without compromising on selectivity or yield.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of (S)-(-)-2-Methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine in toluene?

The solution remains stable for up to 12 months when stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at recommended temperatures. Always check for signs of precipitation or discoloration before use.

2. Can this reagent be used with polar aprotic solvents like THF or DMF?

While primarily formulated in toluene, the catalyst can be compatible with polar aprotic solvents, but dilution may affect reaction kinetics. Pre-testing is advised to optimize conditions for specific applications.

3. Are there non-AcroSeal® packaging alternatives available for bulk purchases?

Currently, this product is exclusively offered in AcroSeal® packaging to maintain integrity. For bulk requirements, contact customer support to explore custom solutions under controlled conditions.

4. How should unused solution be stored to prevent degradation?

Store the sealed bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct light and oxidative environments. Use inert gas purging if transferring to secondary containers to minimize air exposure.

5. What safety precautions are necessary when handling this solution?

Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a fume hood due to toluene’s volatility. Avoid inhalation or skin contact, and dispose of waste according to local hazardous material regulations.
