Lithiummethoxid (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol Description:
Lithiummethoxid (LiOMe) (CAS: 865-34-9) is a mild base used primarily in organic synthesis and is most frequently employed for transesterification. This reagent is provided in a methanol solution of LiOMe (2.2 M), thereby allowing straightforward transfer from shipping containers to storage or directly to a reactor. When exposed to moisture, it converts into methanol and lithium hydroxide, resulting in a turbid solution.

Lithiummethoxid (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol Applications:
Lithiummethoxid is a mild base employed in organic synthesis, particularly for transesterification. It withstands extended heating at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, Lithiummethoxid (LiOMe) 10% in methanol finds applications in the fields of medicine, the chemical industry, organic synthesis and as a phase transfer catalyst.
At room temperature, LiOMe 10% in methanol remains stable. At 40°C, the solution may slowly become turbid due to the desolvation of LiOMe.
