Potassium tri-sec-butylborohydride

Description:
Potassium tri-sec-butylborohydride, with the CAS number 54575-49-4, is an organoboron compound commonly used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. It features a boron atom bonded to three sec-butyl groups and a hydride, making it a bulky and sterically hindered reagent. This steric hindrance allows it to selectively reduce certain functional groups while minimizing side reactions. The compound is typically used in reactions involving carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, converting them into their corresponding alcohols. It is soluble in organic solvents like ether and THF, but less so in water, which is a characteristic of many organoboron compounds. Potassium tri-sec-butylborohydride is valued for its mild reactivity and ease of handling, making it a popular choice in synthetic organic chemistry. However, like many boron-based reagents, it should be handled with care due to its potential reactivity and the need for proper storage conditions to maintain stability.
