I 0055 Preparation of Ammonia Borane in High Yield and Purity, Methanolysis, and Re-
generation. — Ammonia borane is a promising solid hydrogen carrier, particularly for
48- 017 power generation in portable devices that employ proton-exchange membrane fuel
cells. Its synthesis on a preparative scale with high yields (95%) and very high purity
(98%) is described. In addition, the first systematic study of a transitional metal-cata-
lyzed alcoholysis of (III), comparison of the methanolysis and the hydrolysis of (III),
and the regeneration of (III) from ammonium tetramethoxyborate are also described.
