Sodium borohydride 12% solution contains 12% sodium borohydride by weight. Under ideal reaction conditions, one mode (37.8g) of NaBH4 can reduce four modes of an aldehyde or ketone to the corresponding alcohol:
NaBH4 + 4R2C= O +4H2O 4R2CHOH + NaB (OH)4
Thus 1.8kg Sodium borohydride 125 solution can theoretically reduce 1kg of acetaldehyde to ethanol. One of the most important parameters in the efficient use of Sodium borohydride solution is PH control:
reductions should be carried out at a PH of 10 or higher. If the PH below 10, the solution efficiency maydecrease.
