Diisobutylaluminum hydride

Description:

Diisobutylaluminum hydride (DBAH) is a chemical compound with the formula (C4H9)2AlH. It is classified as an organoaluminum reagent and is known for its strong reducing properties. DBAH is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is highly reactive, particularly with moisture and air, which can lead to the release of flammable hydrogen gas. This compound is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the reduction of carbonyl compounds to alcohols and in the preparation of various organometallic intermediates. Its reactivity is attributed to the aluminum-hydride bond, which can donate hydride ions in chemical reactions. Due to its sensitivity to moisture, DBAH must be handled under inert atmospheres, such as nitrogen or argon, and stored in tightly sealed containers. Safety precautions are essential when working with this reagent, as it can pose hazards such as flammability and potential toxicity. Overall, diisobutylaluminum hydride is a valuable tool in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the field of reducing agents.
