CAS 2388-07-0: Lithium ethoxide

Description: Lithium ethoxide, with the CAS number 2388-07-0, is an organolithium compound characterized by its chemical formula C2H5LiO. It appears as a white to off-white solid and is highly soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol, but it is less soluble in water. This compound is known for its strong basicity and is often used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds and as a catalyst in various reactions. Lithium ethoxide can react vigorously with moisture, releasing flammable ethane and forming lithium hydroxide, which underscores its sensitivity to air and water. It is typically handled under inert atmospheres to prevent unwanted reactions. Additionally, lithium ethoxide is utilized in the preparation of other lithium compounds and can serve as a source of lithium ions in various applications, including battery technology and materials science. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound due to its reactivity and potential hazards.
