Synhydrid® is a highly versatile organometallic reducing agent that is safe and easy to handle. It is best known for a number of classic transformations and for its ability to replace more reactive and hazardous chemicals such as DIBAL & Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LAH).

Chematek understands that it is imperative that shelf life, stability and efficacy are always maintained. Our product is as safe and effective as the day it was first manufactured.
Chematek customers can use Synhydrid® without any pre-treatment, warming, mixing or any other unnecessary manual handling.
See how Synhydrid® measures up against the alternatives.
Due to higher concentration with no losses to residues.
No unwanted by-products.
Product remains stable from -50C to +170C.
No side reactions.
Non pyrophoric so it’s easy to handle and use. This reduces accidents, safety compliance and handling issues.
Under correct storage conditions the product is ultra-stable over long time periods and temperature extremes. It has a minimum 24 months shelf life.
Can be used across multiple synthesis reactions. This means you only need to hold one reducing agent.
Less spent on safety and handling of other reducing agents.
REDUCTION REACTIONS
Synhydrid® performs reduction reactions, transforming functional groups by means of hydride addition. It can reduce esters and acids to alcohols or aldehydes, amides and nitriles to amines, lactones to diols or lactols.
A VERSATILE INITIATOR
Synhydrid® is also a versatile initiator in anionic polymerisation of Caprolactam. It can also be used to initiate Grignard reactions smoothly and effectively.
| TO ALCOHOLS | TO ALDEHYDES | TO AMINES |
|---|---|---|
| ESTER → ALCOHOL | ESTER → ALDEHYDE | NITRILE → AMINE |
| ALDEHYDE → ALCOHOL | NITRILE → ALDEHYDE | AMIDE → AMINE |
| ACID CHLORIDE → ALCOHOL | ACID CHLORIDE → ALDEHYDE | IMINE → AMINE |
| KETONE → ALCOHOL | ||
| ANHYDRIDE → ALCOHOL |
