TRIMETHYLAMINOBORANE PREPARATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: organic synthesis.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to organoboron compounds technology, in particular to aminoboranes and, more specifically, to trimethylaminoborane, which can be used as reducing and hydroboronizing agents as well as in color photography, in magnetic film manufacture, and as fuel additive to decrease amount of deposits in combustion chamber. Method comprises reaction of trimethylamine with gaseous diborane in organic solvent at reduced temperature. Solvent is selected from aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic hydrocarbons with melting temperature not higher than -20°C. Reaction is conducted at temperature from -30°C to 0°C, preferably from -15 to -5°C, at trimethylamine-to-solvent volume ratio 1:(1/5-3.5).Proposed method simplifies preparation procedure owing to eliminated laborious solvent removing vacuum distillation stage and stage wherein of aqueous alkali metal hydroxide is introduced to stabilize aminoborane. Yield of desired product, characterized by high purity, achieves 95-98.6%, which is essentially higher than, for example yield (86%) of morpholinoborane regarded as prototype compound in a known process.

EFFECT: enhanced economical efficiency of process.
