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

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.
