Our Products
| Product | CAS number | Description | Document | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synhydrid® | CAS: 22722-98-1 | Sodium bis(2- methoxyethoxy) aluminium hydride in toluene Synhydrid® performs reduction reactions, transforming functional groups by means of hydride addition. It can reduce esters and acids to alcohols or aldehydes, ketones to aldehydes, amides and nitriles to amines, lactones to diols or lactols. | Download TDS | |
| Piperhydride® | CAS: 71128-61-5 | Solution of sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)aluminium hydride Piperhydride® was developed in response to more stringent safety, legal and environmental requirements. It is a safe and cost-effective replacement for DIBAL and Lithium Aluminium Hydride in existing processes. | Download TDS | |
| Sodium Borohydride | CAS: 16940-66-2 | Sodium Tetrahydroborate Sodium Borohydride is a versatile reducing agent used in organic synthesis for the reduction of various functional groups, including aldehydes, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, and nitro compounds, among others. It is also used in the preparation of boranes, in the production of paper and textiles, as a bleaching agent for wood pulp, and as a hydrogen source for fuel cells. | Download TDS | |
| Lithium Borohydride | CAS: 16949-15-8 | |||
| Potassium Borohydride | CAS: 13762-51-1 | Potassium Borohydride (KBH4) is a reducing agent used in organic synthesis for the reduction of various functional groups, including aldehydes, ketones, esters, and carboxylic acids. Like sodium borohydride, it can also be used in the preparation of boranes. Potassium borohydride can be more soluble than Sodium Borohydride in some solvents, which can make it easier to use in certain reactions. | Download TDS | |
| Sodium Cyano-Borohydride | CAS: 25895-60-7 | |||
| Sodium Triacetoxy-Borohydride | CAS: 56553-60-7 |
