Application

(S)-(-)-2-Methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine solution [1M in toluene] may be used as a catalyst in the multi-step synthesis of (-)-diospongin A.
It may also be used in the preparation of:
  • (1S)-2-azido-1-(2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-6-yl)ethanol
  • (R)-α-deuteriobenzyl alcohol
  • (R)-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)benzo[b]thiophene
Catalyst employed in an enantioselective synthesis of (S)-2-amino-1-phenylethanol.
Excellent catalyst for asymmetric reductions.
The CBS (Corey-Bakshi-Shibata) oxazaborolidine catalyst has been used in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones. Other applications include the enantioselective synthesis of α-hydroxy acids, α-amino acids, C2-symmetrical ferrocenyl diols, and propargyl alcohols.

Other Notes

Precipitate may form in storage, but does not affect product quality. Gently heat product to 80-90 °C under an inert atmosphere to redissolve solids.

we are pleased to offer both enatiomers of 2-methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine as a dry reagent, in addition to our current offerings as a 1M solution in toluene.

We are pleased to offer o-tolyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine as a 0.5 M solution in toluene for your research needs. When protonated with trifluoromethanesulfonimide, these chiral oxazaborolidines generate chiral Lewis acids, which have demonstrated great utility in the enantioselective Diels–Alder reaction.
