LM2830 (Discontinued) Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol

Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol Description:

Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) (CAS: 865-34-9) is a mild base primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in transesterifications. This reagent is currently available in a 2.2M methanol solution of LiOMe, making it easy to transfer from shipping containers to storage or reactors. When exposed to moisture, it reacts to form methanol and lithium hydroxide, causing the solution to become cloudy.

Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol Specifications:

Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol Applications:

Lithium Methoxide is a mild base used mainly in organic synthesis, most often in transesterifications. Lithium Methoxide resists prolonged heating at very high temperatures. Furthermore, Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol has various applications for medicine, chemical industry, organic synthesis, phase-transfer catalyst.

Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol is very stable at room temperature. At 40°C, solutions could very slowly become hazy because of the desolvation of the LiOMe.
