Sodium borohydride, also known as sodium tetrahydroborate and sodium tetrahydroborate,[4] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBH4. This white solid, usually in powder form, is a reducing agent that finds applications in laboratory and industrial-scale chemistry. It has been tested as a pretr

Structure and Properties of Sodium borohydrideSodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a mild reducing agent commonly used to reduce aldehydes and ketones to their respective alcohols. NaBH4 is sometimes used to reduce esters to alcohols, but the reaction is usually slow. This difference in reactivity often al

Sodium borohydride is a relatively mild reducing agent. It has a good effect on reducing aldehydes and ketones. Its common solvents include alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, DMF, and water. It generally does not reduce ester groups, carboxyl groups and amides. However, it can be used in the reduction of wea

Winter is cold, in order to ensure the safety of chemical plant production, anti-freezing, anti-coagulation work is very important. In order to prevent the occurrence of all freezing accidents, according to the characteristics of the device, the anti-freezing and anti-freezing work should also be carried out in accordance with the policy of "prevention first.
