Sodium borohydride was prepared in two ways by Stock, although he did not identify the compound in either case. “Sodium hypoborate,” prepared by Stock from B2H6and aqueous NaOH was shown years later by Davis and Gottbraith to be a mixture of NaBH4and Na{B(OH)4}. Similarly, “sodium diborane” reported by Stock was shown by Kaspar and by Hough and Edwards to be a mixture containing a large fraction of the boron as NaBH4.
