About Synhydrid®

Synhydrid® is a trademark for the 70 % wt. solution of sodium dihydridobis(2-methoxyethoxo) aluminate (SDMA) in toluene.

SDMA is the reductively effective component of Synhydrid.

Benefits

Synhydrid® is a liquid reducing agent used in various parts of industry like pharmaceutics, cosmetics, food processing and agrochemistry.

Synhydrid® is an excellent and safe substitute for lithium aluminium hydride and related hydrides.

Synhydrid® exhibits similar reducing effect in comparison with lithium aluminium hydride but does not have its inconvenient pyrophoric nature, short shelf life and limited solubility.

Synhydrid® is the product which can eliminate all these problems without any sacrifice in its reactivity.

It is the big advantage that Synhydrid® is not pyrophoric at ambient conditions. Of course, Synhydrid® exothermally reacts with air moisture but does not self-ignite. Under dry conditions Synhydrid has unlimited shelf life.

Another advantage of Synhydrid® is its solubility in wide range of solvents including aromatic hydrocarbons and ethers.

Especially very significant benefit is its solubility in aromatics because lithium aluminium hydride is well soluble only in several ethers.
