Sodium cyanoborohydride

Description:
Sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) is a chemical compound that serves as a versatile reducing agent in organic synthesis. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The compound is known for its ability to selectively reduce carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, to their corresponding alcohols, while being less reactive towards other functional groups. Sodium cyanoborohydride is particularly valued in the synthesis of amines and in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals due to its mild reaction conditions and high selectivity. It is stable under dry conditions but can decompose in the presence of moisture, releasing toxic hydrogen cyanide gas. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it poses health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, sodium cyanoborohydride is an important reagent in synthetic organic chemistry, offering a balance of reactivity and selectivity for various applications.
