Borane-dimethyl sulfide complex, 94%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Borane- dimethyl sulfide is used for hydroboration and reduction reactions. It is used in the reduction of aldehydes, ketones, epoxides and carboxylic acids to give corresponding alcohols. It is also involved in the Corey-Itsuno reduction. It acts as an intermediate in the preparation of highly pure semiconductor. It is also employed as a rocket propellant.

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.
