Sodium tetraethylborate, with the CAS number 15523-24-7, is an organoboron compound characterized by its tetraethylborate anion paired with sodium cations. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications. This compound is known for its role as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of organoboranes, which are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Sodium tetraethylborate can also serve as a source of ethyl groups in reactions, facilitating the introduction of these groups into organic molecules. Additionally, it exhibits properties that make it a potential candidate for use in polymer chemistry and materials science. However, like many organoboron compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential reactivity and toxicity. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
