  2. Sodium borohydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_borohydride

    Sodium borohydride, also known as sodium tetrahydridoborate and sodium tetrahydroborate, [5] is an inorganic compound with the formula Na B H 4 (sometimes written as Na[BH 4]). It is a white crystalline solid, usually encountered as an aqueous basic solution. Sodium borohydride is a reducing agent that finds application in papermaking and dye ...

  3. Tollens' reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollens'_reagent

    Tollens' test for aldehyde: left side positive (silver mirror), right side negative Ball-and-stick model of the diamminesilver(I) complex. Tollens' reagent (chemical formula ()) is a chemical reagent used to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones along with some alpha-hydroxy ketones which can tautomerize into aldehydes.

  4. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    Sodium borohydride can, under some circumstances, be used for ester reduction, especially with additives. [ 1 ] Forming aldehydes from carboxylic acid derivatives is challenging because weaker reducing agents (NaBH 4 ) are often very slow at reducing esters and carboxylic acids, whereas stronger reducing agents (LiAlH 4 ) immediately reduce the ...

  5. Reductive amination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_amination

    At low pH values, it efficiently reduces aldehydes and ketones. [7] As the pH increases, the reduction rate slows and instead, the imine intermediate becomes preferential for reduction. [ 7 ] For this reason, NaBH 3 CN is an ideal reducing agent for one-pot direct reductive amination reactions that don't isolate the intermediate imine.

  6. Borohydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borohydride

    Ball-and-stick model of the tetrahydroborate anion, [BH 4] −. Borohydride refers to the anion [B H 4] −, which is also called tetrahydridoborate, and its salts. [1] Borohydride or hydroborate is also the term used for compounds containing [BH 4−n X n] −, where n is an integer from 0 to 3, for example cyanoborohydride or cyanotrihydroborate [BH 3 (CN)] − and triethylborohydride or ...

  7. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    [1] [2] As water is an excellent solvent and is also naturally abundant, it is a ubiquitous solvent in chemistry. Since water is frequently used as the solvent in experiments, the word solution refers to an aqueous solution, unless the solvent is specified. [3] [4] A non-aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is a liquid, but is ...

  8. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (gem-diol, R-CH(OH) 2) by reaction with water. Thus, the oxidation of a primary alcohol at the aldehyde level without further oxidation to the carboxylic acid is possible by performing the reaction ...

  9. Reductions with metal alkoxyaluminium hydrides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductions_with_metal_alk...

    The table below summarizes the reductions that may be carried out with a variety of metal aluminium hydrides and borohydrides. The symbol "+" indicates that reduction does occur, "-" indicates that reduction does not occur, "±" indicates that reduction depends on the structure of the substrate, and "0" indicates a lack of literature information.
