Description General description Sodium cyanoborohydride is a versatile reducing agent stable in aqueous solution at pH 7.2. It is a weaker reducing agent as compared to NaBH4. It effectively reduces Schiff bases. NaCNBH4 participates in the reductive methylation for the efficient and selective conversion of the e-amino groups of lysyl residues in proteins to the mono- and dimethyl derivatives. Application Reactant for: • Direct conversion of heterocyclic aldehydes to esters (oxidizing behavior) • Reductive amination reactions • Intramolecular reductive cyclization reactions • Reductions reactions • Preparation of dicyanoborate-based ionic liquids as hypergolic fluids for bipropellants Sodium cyanoborohydride may be used in the following studies: • As reducing agent for the in vitro radiolabeling of proteins by reductive alkylation. • Reduction of aldehydes and ketones. • Selective deoxygenation of aldehydes and ketones. • Preparation of colloidal gold particles of varying sizes.
