Potassium borohydride CAS13762-51-1 is stable in air and does not absorb moisture. Potassium borohydride is easily soluble in water, soluble in liquid ammonia, slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol, and almost insoluble in ether, benzene, tetrahydrofuran, methyl ether, and other hydrocarbons. Stable in alkaline environments, it decomposes into inorganic acids and releases hydrogen gas. Strong reducibility.
