Cool, my friend that told me this claimed that potassium borohydride was actually better than sodium borohydride because it was more soluable in the needed solvents. He never specified to me that he was talking about beakers 2CH synth, but upon researching the subject beakers was the only one I could find that used sodium borohydride anyway so I assume that this is the synth he was talking about. Hmmm why am I ranting about that here I should be asking him I suppose
Well swid is no expert chemist, but he is not necessarily a newbie either(more newbee than oldbee nevertheless) so he thinks that he will proceed with this synthesis using the potassium borohydride, your reply made him a bit more comfortable spending the cash time and effort, he just needed a second opinion before proceeding.
If anybody else has any input it would be greatly appreciated- any reassurance from more experienced bee's than I that it should work, or reasons why it might not for that synth.
thanks
