I've been doing an assignment recently and the literature mentions a reductive amination reaction involving sodium cyanoborohydride, from what I've found, the reason why sodium cyanoborohydride is reductive is because of the migration of the hydrogen negative ions, so does boron have a change in valence during this process? My teacher says that boron should have a change in valence, but I can't figure out why this is, and what it turns into at the end of the reaction. Can anyone help me with this?
