Sodium borohydride
Sodium borohydride, also known as sodium tetrahydridoborate, has the chemical formula NaBH4 (CAS 16940-66-2). It is a selective specialty reducing agent used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, intermediates and fine chemicals. It is a white solid, usually encountered as a powder or confectioned into prills. It melts at 36°C (97°F) and is stable (when dry) up to approximately 300°C (570°F). It is soluble in methanol and cold water, but reacts with hot water.
