Are these competitive prices? I bought the same product five years ago so don't recall the price.

i dont know what you call competitive, but considering the fact that no chem company would sell to individuals, they ARE competitive.

Fisher emergo asks 107,50 EUR for 100g of pellets exl. btw (19%). So I would say these prices are competitive.

I'd say they are roughly inline with SigmaAldrich prices. Bit expensive but you are unlikely to get it from elsewhere!

Cheaper than Alfa-Aesar for the same purity.

I've never used the pellets, only the powdered stuff. Probably need ground up or crushed first if you're going to dissolve them up in solvent? How big are the pellets?

Last 100g of LAH was $157 with $75 shipping :-/

I've never had any trouble buying LAH.

What's the URL, or has the deal expired?

The pellets would be a lot less pyrophoric than the powder, which has given me a fright on a couple of occasions.

Well, with the pellets I have to grind them up under THF (dry). And I've read about fires starting during this operation. I'm thinking this really should be done in a glove box under N2 (what a pain). Maybe the LAH could be drawn from the pellets in a soxhlet .. allthough simply boiling in THF hasn't dissolved them completely in any reasonable amount of time. In the US it's not a DEA watched chemical. If the chemical companies won't sell to individuals it's a matter of lawyer tax (liability concerns).

You sure you have to grind them up?

That really negates the reason for pelleting them in the first place. Can't you just throw in a couple of pellets and fish them out again afterwards if they aren't used up .... then you could store and reuse them.

Technically, LAH might be a watched chemical. Were you to peruse the list 1 and list 2 chemicals, you might find a reference to "Salts of Lithium".

If you actually look at current list 1 and 2 chemicals you will see no references to LAH or any other lithium compounds.

You may be thinking of the special surveillance list which includes chemicals whose transactions are not regulated but whose sale to someone who uses them for drug production can later be held against the seller.

Yup! It's on the special surveillance list. I am corrected.
