Lithium isopropoxide

Description:
Lithium isopropoxide is an organolithium compound with the chemical formula C3H7LiO. It is characterized by its role as a strong base and nucleophile, commonly used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar organic solvents. Lithium isopropoxide is known for its ability to deprotonate alcohols and other weak acids, making it valuable in the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. It is also utilized in the preparation of lithium-containing catalysts and in the synthesis of various organic compounds. Due to its reactivity, it should be handled with care, as it can react vigorously with moisture and air, potentially leading to the release of flammable gases. Proper storage in a dry, inert atmosphere is essential to maintain its stability and effectiveness in chemical applications.
