CAS 16940-66-2: Sodium borohydride

Description:Sodium borohydride, with the CAS number 16940-66-2, is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and polar solvents. It is a powerful reducing agent commonly used in organic chemistry for the reduction of aldehydes, ketones, and esters to their corresponding alcohols. Sodium borohydride is stable under normal conditions but can react vigorously with strong acids, releasing hydrogen gas. Its chemical formula is NaBH4, indicating the presence of sodium (Na), boron (B), and hydrogen (H) in its structure. The compound is often utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, where it aids in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, and in the production of certain types of polymers. Additionally, sodium borohydride is employed in the field of hydrogen storage and fuel cells due to its ability to release hydrogen upon hydrolysis. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it can be hazardous if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.
