Description

Lithium Amide is a powerful inorganic base and a versatile reagent in synthetic chemistry, primarily used for deprotonation and as a strong nucleophile. Its high basicity and reactivity make it a critical component for the synthesis of complex organic molecules and advanced materials. This compound is essential for research and development laboratories, as well as industrial-scale production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors. We supply high-purity Lithium Amide CAS NO 7782-89-0 to meet the stringent demands of these global industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: A key reagent for the deprotonation of weakly acidic C-H bonds in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Polymer & Material Science: Used as an initiator or catalyst in anionic polymerization processes for creating specialized polymers and elastomers.
• Agrochemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of complex herbicide and pesticide molecules requiring selective bond formation.
• Organic Synthesis: Facilitates crucial reactions such as halogen-metal exchanges, eliminations, and the generation of other organolithium compounds.
• Lithium Battery Research: Investigated as a potential precursor or additive in the development of next-generation solid-state electrolytes and electrode materials.
• Fine Chemical Production: Enables the synthesis of flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Amide is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including titration, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and elemental analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored under a dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep away from moisture, strong acids, and oxidizing agents.
