SYNTHESIS OF ALKALI METAL SUBSTITUTED BOROHYDRIDE REAGENTS

摘要

Synthetic routes for forming alkali metal substituted borohydride compounds include the step of reacting an alkali metal reagent, a hydrogen donor, and a substituted borane. The reactions proceed without the requirement of specialised handling of alkali metal hydrides associated with prior synthetic processes for the production of alkali metal trisubstituted borohydride compounds. A chemical composition comprises solid potassium tri-sec-butyl borohydride.
