Lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride is a specialized reducing agent derived from lithium aluminum hydride. Its molecular formula is LiAlH(OtBu)3 with CAS No. 5461-79-2. This reagent offers enhanced chemoselectivity in organic synthesis, particularly for the reduction of acid chlorides to aldehydes under mild conditions.
Strictly store under inert atmosphere at low temperatures. Avoid contact with moisture or air due to pyrophoric risks. Use appropriate PPE including face shields and fire-resistant gloves during handling.
