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.
