Description

[(2-Aminoethyl)Amino]Lithium is a highly reactive organolithium compound used as a powerful base and nucleophile in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to facilitate challenging deprotonation and lithiation reactions under controlled conditions, enabling the production of complex molecules. This specialty reagent is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise and efficient synthetic pathways.

Application

• As a strong, non-nucleophilic base for the deprotonation of weakly acidic C-H bonds in complex molecule synthesis.
• Key reagent in the lithiation of sensitive heterocycles and aromatics for functional group introduction.
• Precursor for the synthesis of specialized lithium amide catalysts and ligands used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Intermediate in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals.
• Used in polymer chemistry for the initiation of anionic polymerization to create tailored polymeric materials.
• Employed in materials science for the surface modification and functionalization of inorganic substrates.

Quality Control

Our [(2-Aminoethyl)Amino]Lithium is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for sensitive synthetic applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance with internal and regulatory standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly reactive nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, moisture, and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
