Na(OAc)3BH

I posted a procedure for making sodiumtricetoxyborohydride abd got some negative feedback on my spelling and lazy stoichiometry. The correct abbreviation is the above. Several preps can be found ala google and supplier info is available there too.

Maybe this reagent is no big deal for the more active chemists but I've been out for awhile and this was a nice discovery for me .. replacing NaCNBH3.

Cheers
