Sodium Borohydride is a relatively weak reducing agent, and it is selective for ketones and aldehydes. However, there are many additives that can be combined with NaBH4 to reduce other functional groups. Some combinations can even reduce esters and carboxylic acid. Complexes have been created that allow for enantioselective borohydride reductions. Even though NaBH4 reacts with acidic, and neutral, water, and alcohols, ethanol and other alcohols are used as solvents for borohydride reductions. Sodium Borohydride can also be used for reductive animation however it will not reduce oximes by itself. This reagent must be handled with care since it will react with protic solvents to release Hydrogen gas which can ignite. Sodium Borohydride can react with acids to release diborane gas which is highly pyrophoric and poisonous. The reagent irritates the skin and respiratory tract. A thermal runaway reaction can occur when mixed with DMF. This reagent should only be handled in a fume hood with proper PPE. Review the MSDS before use. The seller accepts no liability for accidents in handling or use. The product will be shipped in a glass jar with a F217 lid. The jar is sealed with parafilm and vacuum sealed to protect the product from degradation.
