Application

Lithium Aluminium Deuteride (LiAlD₄) is a deuterated analog of lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH₄), widely used as a selective reducing agent in organic synthesis. It plays a crucial role in the production of deuterated compounds, which are essential in pharmaceutical research, isotopic labeling, and NMR spectroscopy. LiAlD₄ is a highly reactive and moisture‑sensitive solid, requiring careful handling under inert conditions.
