| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Bis(benzoyloxy)borane is a reagent for reducing tosylhydrazones of aldehydes, ketones, and enones to the corresponding methylene derivatives.
| [Synthesis]
Bis(benzyloxy)borane is available via the controlled addition of the borane-THF complex to benzoic acid at 0 °C. Preparation using the borane-dimethyl sulfide complex involves much milder reaction conditions (25 °C).
| [Precautions]
It shows good stability, which results from adduct formation with solvent (THF or DMS). Solutions of the reagent in THF have shown little decomposition after storage at 0 °C for 10 days.
