Potassium triethylborohydride

Description:
Potassium triethylborohydride, with the CAS number 22560-21-0, is an organoboron compound that serves as a powerful reducing agent in organic synthesis. It is characterized by its ability to donate hydride ions, making it useful in various reduction reactions, particularly in the reduction of carbonyl compounds and other electrophiles. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its air-sensitive nature, requiring careful handling under inert atmospheres to prevent degradation. Its reactivity is attributed to the presence of the borohydride moiety, which facilitates the transfer of hydride ions. Potassium triethylborohydride is soluble in organic solvents, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, but is insoluble in water. Due to its strong reducing properties, it is often employed in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the preparation of alcohols from ketones and aldehydes. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound, as it can react violently with water and moisture, releasing flammable gases.
