Sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN, CAS 7490-18-6) is a selective reducing agent used in industrial synthesis. It facilitates reductive amination under mild acidic conditions, offering superior chemoselectivity over sodium borohydride for converting imines to amines.
Strictly store in dry, inert atmospheres away from acids to prevent toxic hydrogen cyanide release. Personnel must wear full PPE; inhalation or skin contact poses severe health risks requiring immediate medical intervention.
