This process reacts lithium aluminium hydride with octachlorotrisilane in 1-butoxybutane.

Alternative reducing agents exist for this reaction; for instance, lithium aluminium hydride.

Other reducing agents are lithium aluminium hydride and sodium borohydride.

With lithium aluminium hydride, it can be reduced to amphetamine.

Reduction of an epoxide with lithium aluminium hydride and water generates an alcohol.

The latter converts to a di-hydroxide by reaction with lithium aluminium hydride.

These reactions can be effected stoichiometrically using lithium aluminium hydride.

For example, reduction with lithium aluminium hydride yields a mixture of 1,4-dihydropyridine, 1,2-dihydropyridine and 2,5-dihydropyridine.

Stereospecific trans hydroalumination is possible through the use of lithium aluminium hydride.

Sodium borohydride and lithium aluminium hydride are commonly used for the reduction of organic compounds.
