Abstract

Many reduction reactions require the use of BH3, which is commercially available as complex in many different solvents. The determination of the content of BH3 in such solutions could be an important issue when the stoichiometry of the reaction is concerned. A fast, direct, and reproducible method to establish the content of BH3 in several solutions based on 11B NMR analysis is reported.
