Borane tert-butylamine is an

amine borane complex derived from tert-butylamine and borane
. It is a colorless solid.

The compound is prepared by the reaction of tert-butylammonium chloride and sodium borohydride:[2]

t-BuNH3Cl + NaBH4 → t-BuNH2BH3 + H2 + NaCl

In

reduction of certain functional groups including aldehydes, ketones, oximes, and imines.[3]

In photographic processing, it is used in the E-4 process, as "chemical enlighting" step in the processing of the film.
