Lithium Borohydride Description:
Lithium Borohydride is a white crystalline powder. It is insoluble in hydrocarbons, benzene, soluble in ether and liquid ammonia. Lithium Borohydride decomposes by heating. Its aqueous solution is easy to hydrolyze and reacts quickly when acid is added. Lithium Borohydride can be used as a raw material for hydrogen production and a reducing agent for organic synthesis.
