General description

R-Alpine-Borane® is a chiral reducing agent, synthesized from (+)-α-pinene via hydroboration.

Application

R- and S-Alpine-Boranes are used for asymmetric reduction of aldehydes and prochiral ketones.
R-Alpine-Borane® solution may be used to prepare:
  • (R)-5-(Benzyloxy)pent-3-y-2-ol, an intermediate for the stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-stagonolide D.
  • (R)-1-(p-Tolyl)-1-pentyn-3-ol, an intermediate for the enatioselective synthesis of (R)-incrustoporin.
  • N-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-(4S)-[4-2H]-1-L-homoserine tert-butyl ester, an intermediate for synthesizing (4S)-[4-2H]-L-homoserine.

Legal Information

Alpine-Borane is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany
