Sodium borohydride reductions in organic solvents are used extensively for organic syntheses and for the purification of bulk organic chemicals such as alcohols, esters, amides, etc., to reduce impurities which impart color, odor, or instability to these products. A simple analytical technique based on titration has been developed to determine part per million levels of sodium borohydride in organic media.
