 Sodium Triacetoxyborohydride (NaB(OAc)₃H) is a 95% pure chemical widely used in organic synthesis as a selective reducing agent. It is particularly useful for the reduction of carbonyl compounds (such as aldehydes and ketones) to the corresponding alcohols. It is also commonly used in asymmetric reduction reactions and is favored for its mild reaction conditions and ability to reduce functional groups with high selectivity.

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is non-hygroscopic and can be safely stored at ambient temperature. It is available in glass bottles in various packaging sizes, such as 25 g, 100 g, and 250 g, making it a versatile reagent for small to large-scale synthesis in laboratories and chemical production.

Key Features:

1. Selective Reducing Agent:
   • Used for the reduction of carbonyl compounds (e.g., aldehydes, ketones) to alcohols, offering a more selective approach compared to other reducing agents.
2. Mild Reaction Conditions:
   • Operates under mild conditions without the need for high temperatures or pressures, making it an ideal reagent for sensitive compounds that might decompose under harsh conditions.
3. High Purity:
   • The product has a 95% purity, ensuring that it performs efficiently in organic synthesis and asymmetric reductions.
4. Versatile Packaging:
   • Available in multiple sizes, including 25 g, 100 g, and 250 g packs, allowing for flexible use in varied research scales.
5. Safe Handling and Storage:
   • Classified under GHS02, GHS05, and GHS07, it is flammable, corrosive, and harmful and should be handled with appropriate care and stored at ambient temperature.

Applications:

• Organic Synthesis: Widely used in reduction reactions, particularly in synthesizing alcohols from carbonyl compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Useful in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active ingredients.
• Asymmetric Reductions: Employed in asymmetric synthesis to selectively reduce carbonyl groups in complex molecules.
• Research and Development: Used in chemical research for the development of new reactions and for functional group manipulations.

Packaging Options:

Storage:

• Store at ambient temperature in a cool, dry place to maintain stability and avoid degradation.

Sodium Triacetoxyborohydride 95% is an essential reagent for organic synthesis, providing a mild and selective reduction method for a variety of carbonyl-containing compounds. Its high purity and safe handling make it a valuable tool for pharmaceutical production, chemical synthesis, and research applications requiring precise control over reducing reactions.
