• Uses: Lithium borohydride is used as a strong reducing agent. Its principal applications are in organic syntheses for reducing carbonyl groups such as aldehydes, ketones, and esters. It also is used for selectively reducing a carbonyl group in the presence of a nitrile group. Such selective reduction cannot be achieved with lithium aluminum hydride, which is a much stronger reducing agent. The compound also is used to detect free carbonyl groups in proteins and peptides. Strong reducing agent. Used to reduce compounds containing ketones, aldehydes, ester carbonyls, acid chlorides, lactones, and epoxidesLithium borohydride is a versatile reducing agent for aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, primary amides, acid chlorides, lactones, epoxides, and esters. It is involved in the preparation of intercalation compounds and nanocomposites. It is used as a precursor for other borohydrides and acts as a catalyst in hydroboration reactions. It is known to be good reversible storage compound for anhydrous ammonia and hydrogen. Lithium borohydride (LiBH4) is a complex hydride with a high hydrogen density. It is a strong reducing agent and an electrode material. It has a high gravimetric (18.4 wt%) and volumetric (121 kg/m3) hydrogen storage capacities. It can also be used in lithium-ion batteries. Strong reducing agent. Used in the reduction of Compounds contg ketonic, aldehydic, or ester carbonyls and a nitrile group, where reduction of the carbonyl, but not of the nitrile group, is wanted. In the determination of free carboxyl groups in peptides and proteins; after esterification and acetylation, only the ester groups, and none of the peptide bonds are reduced.
