Application

2-Methylpyridine borane complex solution (2-Picoline borane complex) was used as reducing agent for the labeling of oligosaccharides by reductive amination. It may be used in the following studies:Synthesis of alkoxyamine derivatives, via reduction of oxime ethers.Reductive amination reactions of C₁-C₁₀ aldehyde 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones.Synthesis of various trifluoromethylated amino compounds.An alternative reagent for reductive aminations.
