Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) 10% in Methanol Description:
Lithium Methoxide (LiOMe) (CAS: 865-34-9) is a mild base used mainly in organic synthesis, most often in transesterifications. This reagent is offered currently in a methanol solution of LiOMe (2.2M) and therefore is very easy to transfer from shipping containers to storage or reactor. On contact with moisture, it is converted to methanol and lithium hydroxide causing the solution to become cloudy.

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.
