Product Information

• Name: 1,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-O-carborane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-O-carborane is a cyclic molecule that can be used in the synthesis of organic compounds. It can be prepared by reacting anhydrous sodium chloride with propiolic acid. It has been shown to produce decaborane and anion when reacted with chlorine. The chlorides are catalytic for the formation of methyl alcohol and methacrylates. 1,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-O-carborane has been used as a starting material for the synthesis of triflates and methyl alcohols. This compound has also been found to produce diffraction patterns that can be used for structural analysis.
