General description

S-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.
S-Alpine-Borane® solution may be used to prepare:
  • 5(S)-methyl 5-hydroxy-8-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)-6-octynoate, an intermediate for the stereocontrolled total synthesis of leukotriene B4.
  • (+)-(S)-4-hydroxy-6-phenyl-5-hexynyl 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-oxazolidine-3-carboxylate
  • (R)-1-(tert-Butyldiphenylsilyloxy)pent-3-yn-2-ol, an intermediate for the preparation of (S)-4,5-dihydroxypentane-2,3-dione (DPD).

Legal Information

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