Lithium Aluminum Hydride - Office of Environmental Health and Safety Lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) is an odorless solid that reacts violently with water, acids and oxygenated compounds LAH can ignite in moist air or because of friction or static sparks It is highly corrosive to eyes, skin and mucous membranes
Lithium Aluminum Hydride: Structure, Properties, Applications Lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) is a reagent used widely in organic synthesis for reduction LAH reacts strongly with H 2 O in an exothermic reaction that results in the potentially harmful release of H 2 gas
What is LiAlH - BYJUS Lithium aluminium hydride, also known as LAH, is a reducing agent that is commonly used in modern organic synthesis It is a nucleophilic reducing agent that is best suited for reducing multiple polar bonds such as C=O
Lithium Aluminum Hydride - Albemarle Albemarle provides lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, especially for the reduction of esters, carboxylic acids and amides
Good Ol Lithium Aluminum Hydride | Science | AAAS LAH shows up all over the place as a reducing agent, and you can buy it as a dry powder, as a solution, and in solid pellets and chunks for larger-scale reactions But for such a widely used substance, it has some significant safety hazards
Quenching Reactions: Lithium Aluminium Hydride - Chemistry LibreTexts To quench your LAH reduction, add the celite hydrated sodium sulfate mixture to your reaction mixture one spatula full at a time This will be exothermic and might cause the reaction to temporarily stop stirring, but keep adding the solid until the mixture resumes stirring
