introduction | sodium cyanoborohydride is a chemical substance, white or yellowish solid powder, and a mild reducing agent. |
Application | Sodium cyanoborohydride is widely used in the reduction of aldehydes and ketones, especially the reductive amination of ketones. It is a reducing agent for organic synthesis, aldehydes, ketones, oximes, enamines are reduced, β-lactam is reduced to β-amino acids, and ammonia is methylated. |
reducibility | although sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) is weaker than sodium borohydride, it can remain stable in an acidic environment with pH 3. Therefore, it is often used to reduce imine cations in acidic environments. (Borch reductive amination) |
Use | is a mild reducing agent, which is widely used for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones, especially the reductive amination of ketones. Reducing agents for organic synthesis, aldehydes, ketones, oximes, enamines are reduced, and β-lactam is reduced to β-amino acids. Methylation of ammonia. |
