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.
Application
Reactant used as a regioselective reducing agent
Reactant involved in:
Reactant involved in:
- Hydroboration / oxidation
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 L-pyrrolidinol in the asymmetric reduction of indanones and tetralones.
- Asymmetric reduction of ferrocenyl-1,3-diketones to chiral 1,3-diols.
- Highly enantioselective reduction of ketones catalyzed by C3-symmetric tripodal hydroxyamides.
