Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylboroxin (50 ml of 50 wt % solution in THF, 170 mmol) was placed in a round bottom flask with distillation head and receiver under nitrogen. Tri-n-butyl borate (92 ml, 340 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred 30 min. Methyldi-n-butoxyborane and THF were distilled from the tri-n-butoxyboroxin. The methyldi-n-butoxyborane and THF were separated by further distillation to obtain 44 g of methyldi-n-butoxyborane, 50% yield.
