General Description

Lithium, (diphenylmethyl)- is a chemical compound with the formula Li(C6H5)2CH, also known as lithium diphenylmethyl. It is an organolithium compound, which means it contains a direct bond between a carbon and a lithium atom. Lithium, (diphenylmethyl)- is used in organic synthesis as a strong base and as a reagent for the deprotonation of acids and alcohols. It is also utilized in the preparation of various functionalized organolithium reagents, which are important in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. Additionally, lithium diphenylmethyl is used as a reactant in the preparation of lithium diphenylmethide, a reagent commonly employed in organic chemistry for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.

Mechanism of the deprotonation reaction of alkyl benzyl ethers with n-butyllithium

Kinetic study of the α-lithiation of benzyl methyl ether (BME) by nBuLi has revealed that increasing the concentration of the organolithium compound does not necessarily increase the reactivity, and this is a consequence of the reactivities of the differe

A facile approach to thermally stable and efficient solid-state emitters is proposed. By hooking up tetraphenylethene (TPE) units through aryl linkers under Suzuki coupling conditions, a series of arylene bis(tetraphenylethene)s (TPE-Ar-TPE Ar=2,5- dimeth

BESTIMMUNG DER IONENPAAR-BASIZITAT VON LITHIUM- UND KALIUMAMIDEN

Ion pair basicities of lithio and potassio salts of some secondary amines were determined by equilibration with benzyl compounds.With these bases it is possible to span a range of about 19 pK-units from pK = 27 up to 46.The structural dependence of thermodynamic as well as kinetic basicity is discussed.Some new effective amide bases for preparative purposes are recommended.For the first time the pK-value of toluene has been determined by direct equilibration.It amounts to 40.7 in tetrahydrofuran.
