Abstract
Sulfurated borohydrides can be prepared very easily from the corresponding borohydrides. These sulfurated borohydrides show selective properties as reducing and sulfurating agents that offer real synthetic interest. A review of the reactions of the main functional groups with NaBH2S3 is presented, along with the reductions observed with steroidal ketones. 1.
