Abstract

A new generation of borane−THF solutions stabilized with 0.005 M of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine or N-isopropyl-N-methyl-tert-butylamine have been developed. These BTHF solutions show superior stability and reactivity at ambient temperatures when compared to BTHF complex unstabilized or stabilized with 0.005 M NaBH4.
