CAS 16853-85-3: Lithium aluminum hydride

Description:Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) is a powerful reducing agent commonly used in organic chemistry for the reduction of various functional groups, including esters, carboxylic acids, and amides, to their corresponding alcohols. It appears as a white, crystalline solid and is highly reactive, particularly with water and moisture, releasing hydrogen gas and forming lithium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. This reactivity necessitates careful handling and storage under inert atmospheres, such as argon or nitrogen. LiAlH4 is soluble in ethers, which are often used as solvents in reactions involving this compound. The substance has a relatively low molecular weight and a high hydrogen content, making it an efficient source of hydrogen in chemical reactions. Additionally, it is classified as a flammable material, and its handling requires adherence to safety protocols to prevent accidents. Overall, lithium aluminum hydride is a versatile reagent in synthetic organic chemistry, valued for its ability to facilitate reductions under mild conditions.
