Chemical compound
Sodium borohydride, also known as sodium tetrahydridoborate and sodium tetrahydroborate,[5] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBH4 (sometimes written as Na[BH4]). 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 industries. It is also used as a reagent in organic synthesis.[6]
The compound was discovered in the 1940s by H. I. Schlesinger, who led a team seeking volatile uranium compounds.[7][8] Results of this wartime research were declassified and published in 1953.
