'''Lithium aluminium hydride''', commonly abbreviated to '''LAH''', is an [[inorganic compound]] with the [[chemical formula]] {{chem2|Li[AlH4]|auto=1}} or {{chem2|LiAlH4}}. It is a white solid, discovered by Finholt, Bond and [[Hermann Irving Schlesinger|Schlesinger]] in 1947.<ref name="Schlessinger">{{cite journal|last1=Finholt|first1=A. E.|last2=Bond|first2=A. C.|last3=Schlesinger|first3=H. I.|title=Lithium Aluminum Hydride, Aluminum Hydride and Lithium Gallium Hydride, and Some of their Applications in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry|journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society|year=1947|volume=69|issue=5|pages=1199–1203|doi=10.1021/ja01197a061}}</ref> This compound is used as a [[reducing agent]] in [[organic synthesis]], especially for the reduction of [[ester]]s, [[carboxylic acid]]s, and [[amide]]s. The solid is dangerously reactive toward water, releasing gaseous [[hydrogen]] (H<sub>2</sub>). Some related derivatives have been discussed for [[hydrogen storage]].
