  Sodium Borohydride (NaBH4)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Sodium borohydride is a water soluble reductant exhibiting unique properties in organic synthesis.
Especially in the last 20 years, sodium borohydride has become established as the reductant of choice in the large scale synthesis of active ingredient in applications beyond aldehyde/ketone reductions.
Part of the convenience associated with sodium borohydride reductions lies in the fact that, unlike most other complex hydrides, it is not necessary to exclude moisture and atmospheric oxygen from the reaction mixture.
