Diisobutyl aluminum chloride DIBAL

Diisobutyl aluminum chloride (DIBAL) with a minimum purity of 96 wt % means that at least 96% of the compound in the sample is DIBAL, and the remaining percentage consists of impurities or other substances.

DIBAL (Diisobutylaluminum hydride) is a reducing agent commonly used in organic chemistry to reduce carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, and esters, to their corresponding alcohols. It is a strong reducing agent that can selectively reduce carbonyl groups while leaving other functional groups intact.

DIBAL is a colorless liquid that is pyrophoric, meaning it can ignite spontaneously upon exposure to air. Therefore, it is typically handled under inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, to prevent any accidental ignition.
