Sodium borohydride in Canada

Alyosha - 20-4-2011 at 07:39

Hi,

I'm looking to procure about 5g of sodium borohydride in Canada. It is not for the reduction of amphetamines or controlled substances, since that's probably what some people here first will believe when they see this.

Thanks if you have some available.

They have it here but it's pricey. http://www.pgcscientifics.com/SODIUM-BOROHYDRIDE-POWDE-10GR-...

I also found a seller on ebay who is selling 50g.

According to wikipedia ~ "Alternatively, sodium borohydride is also produced by the action of NaH on powdered borosilicate glass." Probably don't have much NaH laying around though.;)

That seems rather odd that NaH would react with borosilicate glass - I've done plenty of reactions with it in solution and no reaction has occured, but perhaps NaH in solution is rather different than the concentrated form.
