As we learnt in 

Hydrite of beryllium -

Prepared indirectly by reducing beryllium chloride with lithium aluminium hydride

- wherein

2BeCl_{2}+Li[AlH_{4}]\rightarrow 2BeH_{2}+LiCl+AlCl_{3}

 

Beryllium does not form hydrides by direct heating. It is prepared by reducing Beryllium Chloride with Lithium Aluminium Hydride.

2BeCl+ Li(AIH4\rightarrow2BeH+ LiCl + AlCl3
