Lithium Tert-butoxide

Overview: Lithium tert-butoxide is an organometallic lithium compound with the chemical formula LiOC(CH3)3. It is a white crystalline powder at room temperature, readily absorbing water from the air and decomposing to produce lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. It is soluble in organic solvents such as toluene, hexane, and tetrahydrofuran. It is used as a strong base in organic synthesis. This compound is often described as a salt, and it frequently behaves as such, but it is not ionized in solution. Both octamer and hexamer forms have been described by X-ray crystallography.

Applications

 

Lithium t butoxide is used in organic synthesis, typically as a strong base, to alter the activity and selectivity of catalysts in organometallic polymerization reactions. Furthermore, Lithium tert-butylate can be used for: synthesizing lithium-modified silica nanoparticles for conductive electrogel electrolytes; as a catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide; and as a lithium precursor for the flame-spray pyrolysis synthesis of LiV3O8 nanoparticles.

Packaging, Storage, Handling, and Transportation

 

Solid lithium tertiaty butoxide is packaged in cardboard drums and steel drums.

Packaging Specifications:

20 kg/cardboard drum, 420 drums/20ft container

80 kg/steel drum, 80 drums/20ft container

1. Lithium tert-butoxide is flammable and may burn when exposed to open flames or heating. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.

2. When using lithium tert-butoxide, wear appropriate protective gloves and goggles to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.

3. Avoid inhaling lithium tert-butoxide vapors during handling. Handle in a well-ventilated environment.

The ideal storage environment is away from direct sunlight and in low humidity. Contact with water or air will cause lithium tert-butoxide powder to decompose rapidly or spontaneously combust; therefore, it should be stored in a sealed container. In case of lithium tert-butoxide combustion, do not use water to extinguish the fire; cover it with sand.
