The main uses of lithium triethylborohydride

Reducing agent. Reduce primary and secondary halogenated alkanes to alkanes, but not tertiary halogenated alkanes and halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. Esters are reduced to lipids, while alcohols are reduced to alkanes by p-toluenesulfonic acid esters. Seasonal salt demethylation is faster than lithium aluminum hydride and lithium boron hydride, known as super hydrides
