Abstract

Dimethoxyborane was prepared by the reaction of trimethoxyboroxine, sodium borohydride and trimethyl borate in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether solvent at 70°C under atmospheric pressure followed by distillation to increase the purity and analyzed in liquid phase by FT-IR. The concentration of dimethoxyborane was identified by hydrolysis with water, which yields boric acid, methanol and hydrogen, whereas the generated hydrogen was analyzed by the mass detector of a volumetric flow apparatus. The FT-IR absorbance peak area showed a linear dependence on dimethoxyborane concentration in the wavenumber range 873 to 950 cm−1 for samples with dimethoxyborane concentrations 0 to 6.2 wt% in trimethyl borate. Data fitting using the least square method gave an R 2 value of 97%.
