LAH is soluble in many [[diethyl ether|ethereal]] solutions. However, it may spontaneously decompose due to the presence of catalytic impurities, though, it appears to be more stable in [[tetrahydrofuran]] (THF). Thus, THF is preferred over, e.g., [[diethyl ether]], despite the lower solubility.<ref name="sol" />
