The borane-methyl sulfide complex（Cat No.:M056256）, is a chemical compound used primarily as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. This complex consists of borane (BH3), a boron-hydrogen compound, coordinated with methyl sulfide (SMe2). It is a versatile reagent that selectively reduces aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids to their corresponding alcohols, making it highly valuable in the preparation of various organic compounds. The presence of methyl sulfide stabilizes the borane, allowing for safer handling and improved reaction control compared to borane alone.
