Good job with improving this stub!

I think adding a 3d structure of the molecule would be a good addition, as well as the scheme for the reduction of imines to amines. I'm not sure about the section with adding physical properties, as I believe they are already listed on the main article, although the values for density are a bit off and I'm not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. Maybe you could edit the table on wikipedia instead? I'm not too sure about this part.

Including preparation for the compound is good as well, although you mention that the reagent is often purchased, doesn't it have to be prepared by whoever manufactures it anyways?

I'm not sure if the specific reactions and their yields is entirely relevant, and also why the pH matters is not explained at all. Maybe try to tie those reactions together somehow with some explanations.

One thing that I'd like to see is how and why you would use sodium cyanoborohydride over a reductant (like sodium borohydride which is mentioned). I know sodium borohydride is a stronger reductant, but how and why is that a bad thing, maybe some comparisons to other comparable reductants as well. I know you've listed that as something you'd want to work on, but I think it should have the largest focus.

Also, I think you'll need to change the lead a bit more, since you're adding other information.
