Sodium borohydride reacts with hydrogen cyanide to form the extremely toxic reducing agent sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) and flammable H2 gas (Eggeman, T. 2001. Hydrides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
Sodium cyanide reacts with borane in THF to form the extremely toxic reducing agent sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) (Rittmeyer, P., U. Wietelmann. 2002. Hydrides. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
