Description and Uses

Diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBALH, DIBAL, DIBAL-H or DIBAH) is a reducing agent with the formula (i-Bu2AlH)2, where i-Bu represents isobutyl (-CH2CH(CH3)2). It can be used for various homogeneous reductions such as alkynes to alkenes, esters or nitriles to aldehydes. It is available commercially as the neat reagent and as a solution in several different solvents (hexane, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, etc.). The neat reagent is a liquid and is supplied in metal cylinders. It is pyrophoric and highly reactive and therefore must be handled with great care. The molar solutions in organic solvents are more stable and easier to handle provided that the normal precautions are taken for working with air-sensitive compounds. They must all be handled in an atmosphere free from oxygen and water. Commonly used solvents for diisobutylaluminium hydride are dichloromethane, diglyme, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran. Even when the substrate is not completely soluble in these solvents successful reductions can be accomplished.

Diisobutylaluminum hydride is used as reducing agent in pharmaceuticals. It is also used as raw material in organic synthesis, agrochemicals and dyestuffs.
