Received April 20,1987 The approximate rate and stoichiometry of the reaction oi excess thexyioromoborane-methyl sulfide, ThxBHBr-SMe2, with 0°C) were studied in order to characterize the reducing characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The selectivity of 사 )e reagent was also compared to the selectivity of thexylchloroborane-methyl sulfide. Thexylbromoborane appears to be a much m가 der and hence more selective reducing agent than thexylchloroborane. The reagent 은 rates many organic func tionalities. Thus, the reagent shows very little reactivity or no reactivity toward 휺 cid chloride옹 , esters, epoxides, amides, nitro compounds including simple olefins. However, this reagent can reduce aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, nitriles, and sulfoxides. Especially the reagent reduces carboxylic acids including cr ,^-unsaturated ones and nitriles to the correspon ding aldehydes. In addition to that, thexylbromoboran은 shows good stereoselectivity toward cyclic ketones, much better than the chloro-derivative.
