Abstract

Hydroxydialkyl sulfides of general formula RS (CH2CH2) n H (R= Et, t-Bu, i-Am; n= 1-3) and thiodiethanol monomethyl ether (9) have been synthesized and used as borane carriers. The compounds 3 and 6 (R= Et, n= 2, 3), 7 (R= t-Bu, n= 3), and 9 are completely miscible with water and exhibit only very mild odor. The sulfides were transformed into the corresponding borates by treatment either with boric acid or with diborane. The borates ...
