Lithium Aluminum Hydride
Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4, CAS 16853-85-3) is a powerful, widely used hydride reducing agent applied in the reduction of carbonyl compounds, nitro groups, and other reducible functionalities. As a solid powder, LiAlH4 reacts vigorously with protic solvents and moisture, delivering hydride for rapid and often high-yielding reductions. It is a standard reagent in both academic and industrial laboratories for converting esters, acids, and amides to alcohols and for selective transformations under anhydrous conditions.

1. Primary use as a stoichiometric reducing agent for conversion of carboxylic acid derivatives (esters, acids, amides) to alcohols, and for reduction of aldehydes and ketones under anhydrous conditions. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Lithium aluminum hydride (CAS 16853-85-3).
2. Employed to reduce nitro groups to amines and for selective reductions in multistep syntheses where hydrogenation is not suitable or would over-reduce sensitive functional groups. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Lithium aluminum hydride (CAS 16853-85-3).
3. Useful in complex molecule synthesis where strong, non-catalytic hydride transfer is required; reaction conditions should be optimized to control chemoselectivity and rate. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Lithium aluminum hydride (CAS 16853-85-3).
4. Supplied as a dry powder with recommended inert packaging; KieRay Chem provides storage and handling guidance to minimize moisture contact and exothermic hazards. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Lithium aluminum hydride (CAS 16853-85-3).
5. Batch-specific quality documentation assists process chemists in scaling reductions reliably, reducing variability associated with reagent impurity or moisture uptake. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Lithium aluminum hydride (CAS 16853-85-3).
6. Compatibility with aprotic solvents and well-established quench protocols makes LiAlH4 adaptable to many synthetic workflows when proper safety and waste-handling procedures are followed. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Lithium aluminum hydride (CAS 16853-85-3).
