Methyllithium
Methyllithium (1.6 M in hexane, CAS 917-54-4) is a widely used organolithium reagent for deprotonation, nucleophilic additions, and metalation reactions in organic synthesis. Provided as a standardized solution in hydrocarbon solvent, this reagent offers reproducible reactivity for forming carbon–carbon bonds, preparing organometallic intermediates, and effecting reductions or alkylations. Because neat methyllithium is pyrophoric, the solution format enhances safe handling and accurate dosing for laboratory and production chemistry.
