description Product Description
n-Butyllithium solution is widely used as a strong base and an effective nucleophile in organic synthesis. It is commonly employed in the initiation of anionic polymerization reactions, particularly for the production of synthetic rubbers like styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene, as well as polystyrene. In pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, it is utilized for the deprotonation of weakly acidic compounds and the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, such as in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Additionally, it plays a critical role in the preparation of organolithium reagents, which are essential intermediates in various chemical transformations. Its reactivity makes it valuable in the development of new materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Due to its high reactivity and sensitivity to air and moisture, it must be handled in a controlled, inert atmosphere.
