Useful:

• Uses: zinc borohydride is unique because of the better coordination ability of Zn2+, which imparts selectivity in hydridetransferring reactions. Zinc borohydride is moderately stable in ethereal solution and has many applications in organic synthesis. Zinc borohydride, as a nonconventional hydride transferring agent, has been reported as an efficient chemo-, regio- and stereoselective reducing agent in several complex substrates. It can be used in a range of aprotic solvents such as, THF, Et2O and DME. Several combination reducing systems of Zn(BH4)2 such as Zn(BH4)2/TMEDA, Zn(BH4)2/Me3SiCl, Zn(BH4)2/ TFA/DME, Zn(BH4 ) 2 /H2O, 1Zn(BH4 ) 2 /Al 2O3 , and Zn(BH4)2/C are interesting and have been used for different reduction purposes.
