Benzyltriethylammonium borohydride

Description:
Benzyltriethylammonium borohydride (CAS 85874-45-9) is a quaternary ammonium salt that serves as a versatile reducing agent in organic synthesis. It features a benzyl group attached to a triethylammonium moiety, with borohydride providing the reducing capability. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical reactions. Its primary application lies in the reduction of carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, to their corresponding alcohols. The presence of the triethylammonium group enhances its solubility and reactivity in organic media, while the borohydride component contributes to its reducing properties. Benzyltriethylammonium borohydride is often favored for its mild reaction conditions and selectivity, allowing for the reduction of functional groups without affecting other sensitive moieties in complex molecules. As with many chemical reagents, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to its reactivity and potential hazards.
