Sodium Borohydride

Sodium tetrahydridoborate · CAS 16940-66-2

Intermediates Technical / pharmaceutical intermediate CoA per lotSDSGMP statement

A mild hydride donor that reacts with water, so the pack and the humidity in the warehouse matter as much as the assay. Purity is expressed as hydride equivalent, not as the sodium salt, which is the number process chemists actually charge against.

A reagent rather than a bulk raw material. Supplied in the pack sizes process chemists actually use, with the oxidation or hydrolysis product specified.
