Abstract

Lithium aminoborohydrides (LiABH3) are a new class of powerful yet selective reducing agents that reproduce, in air, virtually all of the transformations for which lithium aluminum hydride is now used. LiABH< s can be readily prepared as solids or generated in situ, are nonpyrophoric, and liberate hydrogen only slowly with protic solvents above pH 4. LiABHis can be handled in dry air as easily as sodium borohydride and retain their chemical ...
