Source :

• Diborane is manufactured by addition of boron trifluoride to a solution of borohydride in diethlene glycol dimethyl ether.

Applications :

• Diborane is a catalyst for ethylenic, styene, acrylic and vinyl polymerization.
• Diborane is used as a rubber vulcanizer.
• Diborane is used as a reducing agent.
• Diborane is used as a flame speed accelerator.
• Dibirane is an intermediate for preparation of boron hydrides of higher molecular weight.
• Diborane is used for conversion of olefins to trialkyl boranes and primary alcohols.
• Ddiborane serves as a strong but selective reducing agent in organic chemistry.
• The addition of diborane to olefins (hydroboration) has great significance in preparetive chemistry. In the presence of an ether, diborane forms an alkyl borane, in an anti-markownikoff mode. Further areas of application for diborane are the doping of semiconductor silicon and germanium.
• Diborane is used in the process of creating hardened metal surfaces for better wear resistance.
