Alkoxylation of Ketone Mediated by N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Borane and Sulfuric Acid in Alcohol

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, a novel method for the alkoxylation of ketones has been developed, employing sulfuric acid and N‐heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC−boranes). The ketones are reduced using NHC−borane (diMe‐Imd‐BH3) and subsequently alkoxylate with sulfuric acid in alcohol solvents. Due to the stability of NHC−borane in the presence of both moisture and air, this reaction emerges as an effective and accessible approach for organic synthesis.
