Sodium triethylborohydride is an organoboron compound with the formula NaBH(C₂H₅)₃. It is a colorless, pyrophoric solid that is commercially available in toluene solution, unlike the related LiBH(C₂H₅)₃ which is typically sold as a THF solution.^[1] It is commonly used for the reductive activation of homogeneous catalysts, converting metal halides to hydrides. Sodium triethylborohydride has been prepared by treating a hot toluene slurry of sodium hydride with triethylborane.^[2] The trimethylborohydride analogue, which is assumed to be structurally similar to the triethylborohydride, adopts a tetrameric structure in toluene solution.^[3] NaBHEt₃ forms a dimeric adduct with tmeda.^[4]
