Description:Borane-pyridine complex, with the CAS number 110-51-0, is a coordination compound formed between borane (BH3) and pyridine (C5H5N). This complex is characterized by its ability to act as a Lewis acid-base adduct, where borane serves as the Lewis acid and pyridine as the Lewis base. The formation of this complex enhances the stability of borane, which is otherwise highly reactive and can easily dimerize or polymerize. The borane-pyridine complex is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents. It is commonly used in organic synthesis as a reducing agent and in hydroboration reactions, where it facilitates the addition of boron to alkenes and alkynes. The complex exhibits moderate volatility and should be handled with care due to its potential reactivity and the presence of boron, which can be toxic in certain forms. Overall, the borane-pyridine complex is a valuable reagent in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the preparation of organoboranes.
