A useful reagent in biochemical synthesis. Used in the deoxygenation of alcohols with tributyltin hydride and diols with lithium aluminum hydride,1 synthesis of monoglycosyl imidazoles and 1,1′-di-O-glycosides by direct glycosylation process from reducing sugar,2 ring closure reaction of o-aminoarylsulfonamides3 and cyclic thiocarbonylation of N,N-disubstituted-aminocarbohydroxamic acids.4 Also used for corrosion inhibition on mild steel in H2SO4 solution.5
