The compound is prepared by the reaction of tert-butylammonium chloride and sodium borohydride:
t-BuNH3Cl + NaBH4 → t-BuNH2BH3 + H2 + NaCl
In organic synthesis, borane tert-butylamine can be used for selective reduction of certain functional groups including aldehydes, ketones, oximes, and imines.
In photographic processing, it is used in the E-4 process, as "chemical enlighting" step in the processing of the film.
