Description

Butyldichloroborane CAS NO 14090-22-3 is a highly reactive organoboron compound primarily used as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to act as a powerful Lewis acid and a source of the butylboron moiety, facilitating critical bond-forming reactions. This chemical is essential for research and development laboratories, as well as production facilities in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors that require precise boron-based intermediates.

Application

• Hydroboration Reagent: For the selective synthesis of organoboranes from alkenes and alkynes.
• Lewis Acid Catalyst: Employed in Friedel-Crafts alkylation, acylation, and other electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
• Polymerization Catalyst: Used as a co-catalyst or initiator in the production of specialized polymers and elastomers.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing boron.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Material Science: Applied in the surface modification of materials and the creation of boron-containing ceramics or coatings.
• Organic Synthesis: A valuable reagent for carbon-boron bond formation, enabling subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
