Sodium borohydride

Sodium borohydride

Product Name: Sodium borohydride Synonyms: SODIUM BORANATE;SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE;SODIUM TETRAHYDRIDEBORATE;SODIUM TETRAHYDRIDOBORATE;SODIUM TETRAHYDROBORATE;SBH;BH4Na;Borate(1-), tetrahydro-, sodium CAS: 16940-66-2 MF: BH4Na MW: 37.83 EINECS: 241-004-4 Chemical Properties: White solid Usage:Nanocrystalline superlattices in gold colloid solution have been prepared by ligand-induction using AuCl3 reduced with sodium borohydride.1 Nucleophilic addition of hydride ion from sodium borohydride is an inexpensive alternative method for the Baylis-Hillman reaction to form [E]-α-methylcinnamic acids.2

Usage: Sodium Borohydride is used as a reagent in the reduction of amino acids and their derivatives. Also used in the catalysis of ammonia borane dehydrogenation.

Usage: TOXIC
