LiTMP = Lithium tetramethylpiperidide DBB = Di-tert-butylbiphenyl Boc = tert-butyloxycarbonyl = t-BuO-CO
However, the original Birch reduction conditions have some drawbacks, one of which is the use of liquid ammonia as solvent. The use of other electron donating reagents can permit the use of THF as solvent.
Red-Al is less oxygen sensitive and more soluble than LiAlH4.
