This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
Triethylborane is catalyst for allylation of aldehydes, decarboxylative C-C bond cleavage reactions, rhenium hydride / boron Lewis acid cocatalysis of alkene hydrogenations, Regioselective hydroxyalkylation of unsaturated oxime ethers. Reactant for radical reductions of alkyl bromides with N-heterocyclic carbene boranes and synthesis of tetramethylammonium trialkylphenylborate salts with oxidation potential.
Solubility
Reacts with water.
Notes
Air Sensitive, store away form air. Store in cool. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store away from oxidizing agent.
