Sodium Borohydride CAS 16940-66-2 Application

The following are a few uses for sodium borohydride:
1. Used as a reducing agent: In organic synthesis, sodium borohydride is frequently employed as a reducing agent. Aldehydes and ketones are examples of carbonyl molecules that it can convert to their corresponding alcohols. Moreover, it can be applied in reductive amination reactions to change primary or secondary amines and carbonyl compounds (such ketones or aldehydes) into the appropriate amine products.
2. Metal recovery: Precious metals like gold and silver are extracted from solutions using sodium borohydride. As a selective reducing agent, it works.
3. Polymerization: In certain polymer synthesis procedures, sodium borohydride is employed as a polymerization initiator.
4. Bleaching: It is employed to eliminate stains or colors brought on by dyes or other substances.
5. Research has been done on sodium borohydride as a possible hydrogen storage material for fuel cell uses. It is a viable option for hydrogen storage and release systems due to its high hydrogen concentration and ability to release hydrogen through hydrolysis or oxidation.
