Sodium triacetoxyborohydride, also known as sodium triacetoxyhydroborate, commonly abbreviated STAB, is a chemical compound with the formula Na[(CH3COO)3BH]. Like other borohydrides, it is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. This colourless salt is prepared by protonolysis of sodium borohydride with acetic acid:[1]

Na[BH4] + 3 CH3COOH → Na[(CH3COO)3BH] + 3 H2

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride is a milder reducing agent than sodium borohydride or even sodium cyanoborohydride. It reduces aldehydes but not most ketones. It is especially suitable for reductive aminations of aldehydes and ketones.[2][3][4]

However, unlike sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride quickly decomposes upon contact with methanol. It reacts only slowly with ethanol and isopropanol and therefore can be used with these solvents.[3]

NaBH(OAc)3 may also be used for reductive alkylation of secondary amines with aldehyde-bisulfite adducts. [5]

Monoacetoxyborohydride

[edit | edit source]

The combination of Na[BH4] with carboxylic acids results in the formation of acyloxyborohydride species other than sodium triacetoxyborohydride. These modified species can perform a variety of reductions not normally associated with borohydride chemistry, such as alcohols to hydrocarbons and nitriles to primary amines.[6]
