Tris-tert-butylamino-borane, also known as borane-tetrahydrofuran complex or THF-borane, is a chemical compound with the formula (t-BuNH)3B. It is a colorless, hygroscopic, and highly flammable solid, often used as a reducing agent in organic chemistry. tris-tert-butylamino-borane is particularly effective in reducing carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, to their corresponding alcohols. It is also used in the reduction of esters, amides, and nitriles. Due to its sensitivity to moisture and air, tris-tert-butylamino-borane must be handled with care, typically under an inert atmosphere. Its stability and reactivity make it a valuable tool in synthetic chemistry for the selective reduction of various functional groups.
The CAS Registry Mumber 18379-73-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,8,3,7 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 3 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 18379-73: (7*1)+(6*8)+(5*3)+(4*7)+(3*9)+(2*7)+(1*3)=142 142 % 10 = 2 So 18379-73-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
