A lithium methanol solution typically refers to a solution where lithium salts (such as lithium chloride or lithium perchlorate) are dissolved in methanol, a type of alcohol. This kind of solution is often used in chemical and electrochemical applications, including battery technology, organic synthesis, and as a reagent in various laboratory processes. Other Name Lithium Methoxide English Name Lithium Methoxide Lithium methanolate Lithium methylate; methoxylithium Methanol, lithium salt Molecular Formula CH3OLi Molecular weight 37.97 CAS No.: 865-34-9 1. Performance and use This product is a methanol solution of lithium methoxide. It is mainly used as A shrinkage agent and strong base catalyst for organic synthesis transesterification reaction, and methoxylation agent for the preparation of vitamin A, vitamin B, sulfadiazine drugs. A small amount is used in pesticide production. It can also be used as a catalyst for edible fatty oils. Battery Electrolytes: In some lithium battery chemistries, lithium methanol solutions can be used as electrolytes, though more commonly, solutions with organic carbonates are used. Organic Synthesis: Lithium methanol solutions can act as a reagent or catalyst in organic reactions, particularly where a polar aprotic solvent is needed. Chemical Analysis: In analytical chemistry, such solutions might be used in titrations or other procedures where lithium ions need to be present in a methanol medium. Electrochemical Studies: Lithium methanol solutions are also used in electrochemical experiments to study the behavior of lithium ions in various solvents.
