Literature References

Convenient alternative to lithium aluminum hydride for many reductions: Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun., 34, 118 (1969). The reagent is more readily and safely handled, is more stable to air and can be used at high temperatures. For use in the stereospecific reduction of 2-yn-1-ols to (E)-allylic alcohols, and reviews, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 7, 524 (1990): The reducing properties can be modified by addition of one mole of ethanol, which gives a reagent for the reduction of lactones to lactols, or one mole of N-methylpiperazine or morpholine, which gives a reagent for the high-yield reduction of esters to aldehydes: Synthesis, 526 (1976). For use as a superior activator/initiator for the formation of Grignard reagents, see: Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun., 38, 1614 (1973).

Notes

Air and moisture sensitive. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Incompatible with water, oxidizing agents and combustible material.Other References:Merck: 14,8565UN#: UN3399
