Product Information

• Name: Tri-N-butyl borate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tri-n-butyl borate is a solid catalyst that has been used in kinetic studies. It is an ionic compound of boron, butyl and boric acid. Tri-n-butyl borate has been shown to have a pharmacokinetic profile with fatty acid and borate components. The carboxylate group can be deprotonated by sodium carbonate to form the corresponding acid complex. This reaction provides hydrogen bonding for the formation of a new hydroxyl group on the oleanonic acid, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). Tri-n-butyl borate has also been used as a catalyst in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments on biological samples and skin cancer cells.
