LITHIUM DIMETHYLAMINOBOROHYDRIDE 1M SO& Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Capable of reducing a variety of fuctional groups.5,6,7,8

Uses

Lithium Aminoborohydride (LAB) Reagents

Reactant for:

• B-H oxidative addition reactions
• Reduction and amination reactions
• Reduction of N-alkyl lactams
• Synthesis of tertiary amine-boranes

General Description

Lithium dimethylaminoborohydride is a reagent exhibiting dual properties like a metal hydride and nitrogen nucleophile. It is generally considered as an alternative to lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) for the reduction of carbonyl compounds, amides, and lactams.
