Aluminum Hydride

Abstract

This feature focuses on a reagent chosen by a postgraduate, highlighting the uses and preparation of the reagent in current research Aluminum Hydride Compiled by Krishnarao Lopinti Krishnarao Lopinti was born in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh in India in 1978. He obtained his B.Sc. (2000) from Acharya Nagarjuna University and M.Sc. (2002) in chemistry from the University of Hyderabad. After qualifying for a CSIR Junior Research Fellowship through a national search examination CSIR-JRF, he began Ph.D.

Cross‐Coupling Reactions Enabled by Well‐Defined Ag(III) Compounds: Main Focus on Aromatic Fluorination and Trifluoromethylation

“…[19] Conversely, the number of isolatable Ag III To our knowledge, first investigations on silver mediated cross-coupling reactions dates back to almost 25 years ago when rare CÀ C and CÀ O bond forming reactions were described by Omura using AgClO 4 in stoichiometric amounts. [20] Catalytic cross-couplings attracted significantly more attention since the publication of the first catalytic protocols for Sonogashira coupling in 2005 by Wang and Li (Figure 3 top), [21] followed right after by the discovery of Ullmann-type reactions by Chakraborty and co-workers [22] (Figure 3 bottom). These two works paved the way to deeply explore the silver applicability in cross coupling reactions and ignited a quite prolific area of investigation.…”

Lithium Aluminum Hydride: A Powerful Reducing Agent

“…Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH 4 ) is a powerful reducing agent used in organic synthesis 1 and is commonly abbreviated as LAH. It is more powerful than the related reagent sodium borohydride because of the relatively weaker Al-H bond compared to the B-H bond.…”
