By similar reduction procedures, amino alcohols can be derived from almost every amino acid. (S)-Valinol [(S)-4], (S)-leucinol [(S)-5], and (S -zm-leucinol [(S) ] are prominent examples of these compounds. A detailed procedure for the reduction of (S)-valine to (S)-valtnol by borane-dimethyl sulfide/boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex has been reported6, as well as details on the preparation of (5)-leucinol2 and (S)-/m-leucinol ... 

Dihalogenoboranes are conveniently prepared by the redistribution of borane—dimethyl sulfide with boron trihaUde—dimethyl sulfide complexes (82,83), eg, for dibromoborane—dimethyl sulfide [55671-55-1] (14). 

Although dichloroborane reacts direcdy with alkenes in the gas phase (118), its complexes with diethyl ether and dimethyl sulfide are so strong that direct hydroboration does not proceed (119,120). The addition of a decomplexing agent, eg, boron trichloride, is necessary for hydroboration. 

Borane complexes are the most widely used commercial boron compounds, after sodium borobydride. Examples used in organic synthesis are amine borane complexes and borane complexes of tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfide.

An alternative method of synthesizing the pyrazine compounds was described by Ghosh et al, and the synthesis is shown is Scheme 32 [78]. Reaction of a 1,2-dione (124) with a 1,2-diamine (125) to form an imine intermediate followed by spontaneous oxidation of the dihydropyrazine intermediate, formed the protected pyrazine compound 126. The free phenol 127 was obtained by removal of the methyl-protecting groups with a boron trifluoride-dimethyl sulfide complex. Similar compounds were prepared via the same method by Simoni et al. [79]. 

A boron analog - sodium borohydride - was prepared by reaction of sodium hydride with trimethyl borate [84 or with sodium fluoroborate and hydrogen [55], and gives, on treatment with boron trifluoride or aluminum chloride, borane (diborane) [86. Borane is a strong Lewis acid and forms complexes with many Lewis bases. Some of them, such as complexes with dimethyl sulfide, trimethyl amine and others, are sufficiently stable to have been made commercially available. Some others should be handled with precautions. A spontaneous explosion of a molar solution of borane in tetrahydrofuran stored at less than 15° out of direct sunlight has been reported [87]. 

Fluoromalonates can be obtained in moderate yields by fluorination of the corresponding carbanions with xenon difluoride, dimethyl sulfide and boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex.29... 

Any of these BH3 compounds adds readily to most alkenes at room temperature or lower temperatures. The reactions usually are carried out in ether solvents, although hydrocarbon solvents can be used with the borane-dimethyl sulfide complex. When diborane is the reagent, it can be generated either in situ or externally through the reaction of boron trifluoride with sodium borohydride ... 

Reduction of esters, nitriles, and amides. These groups are rapidly reduced by horanc-dimcthyl sulfide in refluxing THF (b.p. 67°) if the dimethyl sulfide (b.p. 38°) is removed as liberated. Under these conditions, the reagent is comparable to uncomplexed diborane. Reduction of secondary and tertiary amides is best effected in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate otherwise, excess reagent is utilized for formation of complexes with the products. 

From Table III it is apparent that a number of different donors could be used to obtain very attractive fractionation factors. Indeed, at 30°C., the isotopic equilibrium constant was 1.03, or more, for phenetole, anisole, diethyl ether, ethyl formate, dimethyl selenide, dimethyl sulfide, and diethyl sulfide. However, all of these donors were not equally satisfactory for our purpose. The boron trifluoride complexes of the thioethers, the selenide, and the ester had a pronounced tendency toward irreversible decomposition and were too unstable to be seriously considered for an... 

The BF3 and BCI3 complexes of diethyl ether are less stable than those of dimethyl ether, and the same order of stability is observed for the complexes of diethyl and dimethyl sulfides. As expected, steric interaction decreases as the distance between the metal and ligand atom is increased. Thus, it decreases when the metal atom is changed from boron to aluminum, or when the ligand atom is changed from oxygen to sulfur. 

Borane, which is used as a complex with tetrahydrofuran [992] or dimethyl sulfide [611, 992] or generated in situ from lithium borohydride with boron trifluoride etherate [646] or sodium borohydride with aluminum chloride [184], reacts with 3 mol of an alkene to form a tertiary borane. The oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide [183, 992, 1201] or with trimethylamine oxide [991, 992] yields an alcohol (equations 598 and 599). 

Z)-1-Alkenylboronates are prepared by hydroboration of 1-bromo-l-alkynes with dibromoborane/dimethyl sulfide complex, followed by treatment of the intermediate (Z)-(l-bromo-l-alkenyl)boronates with potassium triisopropoxyborohydride. H. C. Brown and T. Imai, Organometallics, 1984, 3, 1392.
