Diethylphenylamine-borane

Diethylphenylamine-borane (CAS 13289-97-9), also known as N,N-diethylanilineborane, is a selective organoboron reducing agent used in synthetic chemistry and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Where is Diethylphenylamine-borane used?

• Pharmaceutical intermediates: reduces imines, oximes and carbonyl compounds with high chemoselectivity
• Supports production of chiral amines and active pharmaceutical ingredient precursors
• Industrial cleaning and surface treatment: catalyst or initiator in polymerization systems
• Biotechnology research: reductive amination for labeling, conjugation and biomolecule modification
• Organometallic chemistry: catalyst precursor
• It delivers controlled hydride reduction under mild conditions.

Good to know: Offers greater selectivity than many conventional borohydride reagents. Its amine-borane structure enables activation under specific reaction conditions.

Commercial specifications
