Uses

Triethanolamine Borate is an intermediate in the synthesis of Silatrane (S433000) which can be used as a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor. Silatrane and its derivatives can also be used as antitumor agents.

Preparation

triethanolamine borate synthesis: Adding trimethyl borate into the reaction bottle62.7g (0.6mol), 74.6g (0.5mol) of triethanolamine and 300g of toluene are slowly heated to reflux for 1 hour at room temperature, then distillate is distilled out under normal pressure (65-100°C) while reaction is carried out, sampling is carried out by GC detection, after the reaction is finished, reduced pressure concentration is carried out until no liquid distillation is carried out, acetonitrile is added for recrystallization, filtration and drying are carried out, 68g of white solid is obtained, HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) is 98.8%, and the yield is 86.6%.

General Description

Triethanolamine borate can be formed from the 1:1 aqueous solution of boric acid and triethanolamine. It is used as buffer.

Safety Profile

A poison by intravenous route.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Synthesis method of tri(3, 6-dioxyheteroheptyl)amine

The invention discloses a synthesis method of tri(3, 6- dioxyheteroheptyl)amine and belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis. The method includes: exchanging triethanolamine and triborate to form ester, and reacting with 2-haloethyl methyl ether in a condition with alkali and a phase transfer catalyst to obtain tri(3, 6-dioxyheteroheptyl)amine. The method can be completed in a same reaction kettle, so that high efficiency of reaction operation is realized, a product obtained by reaction is high in purity and easy to purify, and reference is provided for industrial amplification.

Silatrane as a Practical and Selective Reagent for the Reduction of Aryl Aldehydes to Benzylic Alcohols

Hydrosilanes are cheap, readily available substrates, yet they do not see as extensive use for simple carbonyl reductions as borohydrides. Hydrosilane reducing agents broadly fall into one of two general categories: either a) they are easy to handle and require expensive and/or hazardous additives, or b) they are difficult and/or dangerous to handle. This work details the discovery of mild and functional group compatible conditions utilizing hydrosilatrane for the selective reduction of aryl aldehydes to benzylic alcohols without unwanted formation of ethers or deoxygenated products. This method offers significant advances in silane reductions as silatrane is an air- and moisture-stable yet relatively reactive reducing agent that can be used in benchtop open air reactions.
