General description
Diisobutylaluminum hydride is a reducing agent for many functional groups commonly used in organic synthesis.
Application
Diisobutylaluminum hydride solution (1 M in dichloromethane) has been used in the conversion of esters into α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated esters in the presence of fluorocarboalkoxy-substituted dialkyl phosphonate anions via Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. It can be used in the multi-step synthesis of (S)-2-methyl tetrahydropyridine-N-oxide, a key structural moiety of bio-active compounds like himbacine and solenopsin-A.
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.

A continuous flow system for the multiparameter (flow rate, temperature, residence time, stoichiometry) optimization of the DIBALH reduction of esters to aldehydes is described. Incorporating an in-line quench (MeOH), these transformations are generally complete in fewer than 60 s. Mixing
