Synthesis and Energetic Characterization of Borane-Amines on High-Nitrogen Heterocycles.

Borane-amines have garnered attention over the last several decades in a variety of applications, ranging from hydrogen storage materials to hypergolic fuel systems. An investigation into the synthesis of borane-amines with high-nitrogen content heterocycles was undertaken in this work. Borane-amines were formed by the reaction of BH·MeS in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with the requisite nitrogen-containing heterocycle and isolated by placing the crude reaction mixture in hexanes to precipitate the product.
