Further reduction proceeded when the reaction was carried out under reflux in tetrahydrofuran to give disulfide and thiophenol derivatives via sulfinic acid. Furthermore, sulfonamides were reduced with sodium borohydride by heating directly to give sulfide, disulfide and thiophenol derivatives, and diphenyl sulfone was reduced under similar conditions to give thiophenol and biphenyl. Keywords reduction; sodium borohydride; aromatic sulfonyl chloride; sulfonamide; sulfone; aromatic sulfinic acid; disulfide; sulfide; thiophenol Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) itself is a relatively mild reducing agent which is extensively used for the selective reduction of the carbonyl group of ketone, aldehyde and (carboxylic) acid halide derivatives.

Through the innovative quadrant-style screw cap and specially designed septum, AcroSeal packaging ensures that you have access to high-quality and low-moisture products every use, guaranteeing improved yield and consistency of your research experiments while reducing chemical waste. AcroSeal packaging highlights New septum developed from a polymeric elastomer with an inert fluoropolymer-coated surface, preserves product quality for longer with better re-seal around needle punctures.
