trimethyl borate

Otherwise, trimethyl borate has no announced commercial applications.

Triethylborane is prepared by the reaction of trimethyl borate with triethylaluminium:

Doping is accomplished by adding trimethyl borate (TMB) or phosphine.

Trimethyl borate is the organoboron compound with the formula B(OCH).

Trimethyl borate, which is debatably not an organoboron compound, is an intermediate in the production of sodium borohydride.

These boronic acids are prepared via reaction of the trimethyl borate with Grignard reagents followed by hydrolysis:.

Trimethyl borate is the main precursor to sodium borohydride by its reaction with sodium hydride:

Sodium borohydride is prepared industrially following the original method of Schlesinger: sodium hydride is treated with trimethyl borate at 250-270 C:

Trimethyl borate, B(OCH), is used as a precursor to boronic esters for Suzuki couplings: Unsymmetrical borate esters are prepared from alkylation of trimethyl borate:

The salts are more stable than the boronic acids themselves and used for instance in alkylation of certain aldehydes:Displayed is a reaction sequence starting with reaction of allyl magnesium bromide with trimethyl borate, followed by hydrolysis of the boronic ester to the boronic acid with hydrochloric acid.
