| | Trimethylboroxine Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | colorless to yellow solution | | Uses | Trimethylboroxine is used as a derivatizing agent for GLC analysis. It is used in a diverse array of areas, including as a polymerization additive. It is also used in the preparation of CBS catalysts for asymmetric reductions. | | Uses | Trimethylboroxine (TMB) is a cyclic anhydride of methyl-boronic acid. It can be used as a:
- Methylating agent for the methylation of various aromatic halides and C(sp3)?H bonds using palladium catalyst.
- Reagent in the preparation of polymer supported CBS (Corey, Bakshi, and Shibata) catalysts.
| | Uses | Trimethylboroxine (TMB) is a cyclic anhydride of methyl-boronic acid. It can be been used:
- As a derivatizing agent for gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis.
- In the preparation of methylaluminoxane (MAO) which is used in the polymerization of olefins.
- As an electrolyte additive to enhance the interface stability of electrode/electrolyte.
- In methylation of aryl halides by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
- In the preparation of CBS (Corey, Bakshi and Shibata) catalysts for asymmetric reductions of ketones to alcohols.
