CAS #: 7439-93-2
Description: The unique properties of lithium metal allow it to be used in various applications. Lithium has an atomic number of 3 and an atomic weight of 6.941. It is slightly harder than sodium, but softer than lead, and is extremely light with a density of 0.531 g/cm3, or about half that of water. The wide range between the melting point of 180.5°C and the boiling point of 1336°C along with its excellent heat capacity makes lithium a good medium for heat sink or heat transfer applications. Lithium is also a strong reducing agent and reacts readily even with weak oxidizers--reacting with nitrogen at ambient temperature. Even though lithium is a powerful reducing agent in many reactions, it is less reactive than the other elements in the alkali metals group.

Methyllithium
Market: Fine Chemicals
SubMarket: Alkyllithiums and Aryllithiums
CAS #: 917-54-4
Description: MeLi is a formulation of methyllithium in THF/cumene that is non-pyrophoric and does not contain highly flammable diethyl ether. The product is stabilized through the addition of magnesium to yield a molar ratio of Li:Mg of 93:07. The presence of magnesium increases solubility and greatly reduces the rate of thermal decomposition, which can lead to the build-up of methane gas pressure. MeLi can be used for methylation via 1,2 addition to carbonyl or nitrile compounds. It is also useful in the preparation of vitamin and steroid derivatives, in carbene-type reactions in the formation of allenes and alkoxycyclopopanes, and in metalation reactions in the preparation of halogenated alkynyllithiums and steroidal alkynyl compounds. It can be used in the reduction of certain transition metal halides [e.g., PdCl2 to Pd (0)], in the preparation of lithium methyl cuprates for 1,4-conjugate addition, and to prepare other organometallics [e.g., Me2Mg, MeTi(NEt2)3, Me3Al, Me3As, Me3In or Me3Ga].
