Usage

General Description

Lithium 2-methyl-2-butoxide, lithium tert-amylate, lithium tert-pentoxide, and lithium tert-pentyloxide are all organolithium compounds that are used as strong bases and nucleophiles in various organic synthesis reactions. These compounds are reactive and can undergo fast and selective reactions with various electrophiles, making them important reagents in organic chemistry. They are often used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers, as well as in the synthesis of fine chemicals. However, they must be handled with care due to their pyrophoric nature and reactivity with air and moisture.
