Lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride

Description:
Lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride, with the CAS number 38721-52-7, is a chemical compound that serves as a versatile reducing agent in organic synthesis. It is characterized by its lithium cation and a tri-sec-butylborohydride anion, which contributes to its reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its ability to reduce a variety of functional groups, including carbonyls and imines, to their corresponding alcohols and amines, respectively. Its sterically hindered structure, due to the presence of three bulky sec-butyl groups, imparts selectivity in reduction reactions, making it particularly useful in asymmetric synthesis. Lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride is sensitive to moisture and air, necessitating careful handling and storage under inert conditions. Additionally, it is soluble in common organic solvents, which facilitates its application in various chemical reactions. Overall, this reagent is valued for its efficiency and specificity in synthetic organic chemistry.
