borohydride

Various steroids and vitamin A are prepared using sodium borohydride in at least one step.

It is more conventienly prepared in two steps from sodium borohydride.

Sodium borohydride has been considered as a solid state hydrogen storage candidate.

The related reagent sodium borohydride is slow in this reaction.

Camphor can also be reduced to isoborneol using sodium borohydride.

Nanoparticles can be prepared by using sodium borohydride as the key reductant.

Variations in the counterion also affect the reactivity of the borohydride.

In the presence of metal catalysts, sodium borohydride releases hydrogen.

Stoichiometric reductions are also popular, as can be effected with sodium borohydride.

Spontaneous ignition can result from solution of sodium borohydride in dimethylformamide.

Other reducing agents are lithium aluminium hydride and sodium borohydride.

The dinitrogen ligand is not reduced to aqueous sodium borohydride.

Subsequent reduction using sodium borohydride produced alcohol 51 .

A borohydride is a compound containing the tetrahydroborate ion, BH4.

Metal borohydride complexes can often be prepared by a simple salt elimination reaction:

Reduction with sodium borohydride in ethanol affords the neutral Borromeand.

The industrial process is analogous, but hydrogenation is used instead of the sodium borohydride reduction.

Sodium borohydride presents a fire hazard due to its reducing nature, and the liberation of hydrogen on contact with acid.

Sodium borohydride reduces aldehydes and ketones to give the related alcohols.

Pyrazoles react with potassium borohydride to form a class of ligands known as scorpionate.

A typical synthesis involved the reaction of NaGeO with sodium borohydride.

This compound was first prepared by reacting uranium tetrafluoride with aluminium borohydride:

Similarly, oxidation of borohydride salts has been demonstrated and remains convenient for small scale preparations.

Lithium borohydride is renowned as one of the highest energy density chemical energy carriers.

The ion is isoelectronic with methane and borohydride.
