CAS 1113-78-6: Tris(1-methylpropyl)borane

Description: Tris(1-methylpropyl)borane, with the CAS number 1113-78-6, is an organoboron compound characterized by its three 1-methylpropyl groups attached to a boron atom. This compound is typically a colorless liquid and is known for its reactivity, particularly in the context of organometallic chemistry. It serves as a useful reagent in various synthetic applications, including hydroboration reactions, where it can add across double bonds to form organoboranes. The presence of the bulky 1-methylpropyl groups imparts steric hindrance, influencing its reactivity and selectivity in chemical reactions. Tris(1-methylpropyl)borane is also notable for its ability to stabilize certain anions and can act as a Lewis acid due to the electron-deficient nature of the boron atom. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it may pose hazards typical of organoboron compounds, including flammability and potential health risks upon exposure. Overall, its unique structure and properties make it a valuable tool in organic synthesis and materials science.
