Renowned for its high-grade usage in organic synthesis, Potassium Borohydride (CAS NO.: 13762-51-1) exemplifies superior quality as a reducing agent. Key features include:
Presenting our Pharmaceutical-grade Potassium Borohydride, an essential reagent for selective reduction chemistry. With the CAS Number 13762-51-1, this compound is recognized for its wide applications in various chemical and pharmaceutical settings.
Our Potassium Borohydride (KBH4) outstands with its impressive purity of >97% and minimal loss on drying, registering a negligible <0.3%. This ensures its efficacy in every application it is tasked with. The product is a top-notch choice for chemists to reduce numerous functional groups, including Aldehydes (RCHO), Ketones (RCOR), and phthalimide chlorides (RC).
Despite its extremely potent reducing ability, Potassium Borohydride manages to maintain a remarkable atmospheric stability and exhibits no hygroscopicity. This makes long-term storage of the product not only possible but also cost-effective. The stability is such that it poses no issue of change in characteristics over time, resulting in a reliable and predictable performance throughout its usage.
KBH4 is able to dissolve liberally in water and ammonia, leading to the slow liberation of hydrogen gas. This controlled release further amplifies its appeal as a reagent in various pharmaceutical scenarios. However, it only has limited solubility in organic solvents, which contributes to its selectivity toward reduction reactions and prevents unnecessary side reactions.
The compound is supplied in its standard physical form as a white crystalline powder, offering easy handling and measured consumption. Each 25 kg of Potassium Borohydride is diligently packed inside sturdy, eco-friendly cardboard drums. These drums shield the product from any elemental damages and, hence, increase the shelf-life of the products significantly.
