Sodium Triacetoxyborohydride
Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (STAB) is a selective reducing agent commonly used in organic synthesis, particularly for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with amines. It is milder than other reducing agents like sodium borohydride (NaBH?) and is often preferred due to its selectivity and tolerance of a wide range of functional groups.
Chemical Structure and Properties
Chemical Name: Sodium triacetoxyborohydride
Molecular Formula: C?H??BNaO?
Molecular Weight: 211.95 g/mol
CAS Number: 56553-60-7
Physical Properties:
Property Description
Appearance White to off-white crystalline powder
Solubility Soluble in acetonitrile, DMF, DCM; reacts with water
Melting Point 116-120°C
Stability Stable under dry conditions, decomposes in moist environments
Storage Conditions Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture
Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is composed of a borohydride (BH?) core stabilized by three acetoxy groups (-OCOCH?), which reduce its reactivity compared to sodium borohydride. This modification allows the reagent to be more selective, especially in the presence of aldehydes, amines, and ketones.
Synthesis
Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is typically synthesized by reacting sodium borohydride (NaBH?) with acetic acid or acetyl chloride. The reaction leads to the formation of the acetoxy groups that modify the borohydride, making it less reactive but still effective in selective reductions.
Key Applications
Reductive Amination: Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is predominantly used in reductive amination, a widely used method to form secondary and tertiary amines. In this reaction, an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a primary or secondary amine to form an imine intermediate, which is then reduced to form the desired amine.
Reaction Example:
Aldehyde/Ketone

Amine

Amine
Aldehyde/Ketone+Amine+Sodium triacetoxyborohydride?Amine
The mildness of STAB ensures that the imine is selectively reduced without over-reducing other functional groups, making it ideal for sensitive or complex molecules.
Selective Reduction of Imine and Iminium Ions: STAB is also widely used for the reduction of imines or iminium ions that are formed in situ during reactions. The reagent is preferred due to its selectivity in these reductions, avoiding the reduction of carbonyl compounds or esters that may be present in the molecule.
Mild Reducing Agent: Compared to sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride, STAB is much milder and therefore allows for selective reduction in the presence of various functional groups. It does not reduce esters, carboxylic acids, or amides, making it highly selective for aldehydes and ketones when other sensitive functional groups are present.
Used in Drug Synthesis: Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the development of amine-containing drugs. Its selectivity and ability to work under mild conditions make it a valuable reagent in medicinal chemistry.
