Hi there, I am seeing four signals at equal height between -0.6 and 0.5 PPM of a 1H NMR sample in dmso-d6. The reaction involves a reductive amination of a heterocylic aldehyde and a primary amine with NaCNBH3. Any thoughts.., appreciated. asked May 20 '14 at 02:54 TBS |
The BH3 group of cyanoborohydride resonates in this region of the proton spectrum and appears as a 1:1:1:1 quartet to due to 11B coupling. See Li and London, Biotechnology Letters, 28, 623-629, 2002 for a reference. answered May 23 '14 at 13:02 |
