Borane-dimethyl sulfide (BH₃ Me₂S) can be used as a reagent:

For the selective synthesis of 1,3,5-oxygenated compounds from dimethyl 3-oxoglutarate.
For the conversion of ozonides to alcohols.
In the CBS-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of ferrocenyl-1,3-diketones to 1,3-diols.
For enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral secondary alcohols in the presence of C₃-symmetric tripodal hydroxyamide as a ligand.
For the hydroboration reduction and other applications.
With a dendrimeric supported L-pyrrolidinol in the asymmetric reduction of indanones and tetralones.
