Application

Diisobutylaluminum hydride solution (1M in THF) is a powerful reducing agent. It can be used in the following reactions:
  • Synthesis of trans-alkene isosteres of protected dipeptides.
  • To generate bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) (Ni(cod)2) in situ, which can catalyze the conjugate addition of ethenyltributyltin to 2-propenal to form tert-butyldimethyl[((E)-1,4pentadienyl)oxy]silane.
  • Reduction of the arylpropiolate esters to give the corresponding propargyl alcohol.

Used in Pd-catalyzed reductive debromination of secondary alkyl bromides. O-Debenzylation and ring opening of perbenzylated furanosides. Convenient in situ generation of HZrCp2Cl from ZrCp2Cl2 and DIBAL-H.

The reaction of DIBALH with bis(heteroannulated)-pyranosides containing the perhydrofuro[2,3-b]pyran moiety is described. The hydride attack at the anomeric carbon (C-9a) resulted in the exclusive tetrahydrofuran ring opening. The selectivity of this reaction has been evaluated as other benzylidene acetals built
