Lithium aluminum deuteride (D₄, 98%)

Description

LAD (Lithium aluminum deuteride) is the deuterated counterpart of lithium aluminum hydride and is among the most powerful reagents available for isotope incorporation. Its broad reactivity enables reduction of esters, carboxylic acids, amides, nitriles, lactones, and other challenging functional groups while introducing deuterium with high isotopic purity. Representative Transformations LAD is frequently selected when complete or deep deuteration of critical molecular positions is required, particularly in medicinal chemistry programs targeting pharmacokinetic optimization.
