Usage

Description

Lithium iodide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula LiI. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and has a high melting point. It is a source of nucleophilic iodide and can act as a mild Lewis acid, making it useful in various chemical reactions.

Uses

Used in Chemical Synthesis:
Lithium iodide is used as a reagent for ester cleavage and decarboxylation, as well as C-C bond forming reactions. It serves as a source of nucleophilic iodide, which can participate in various organic reactions, and acts as a mild Lewis acid, facilitating certain transformations.
Used in Epoxide Opening:
Lithium iodide is used in the opening of epoxides, a type of chemical reaction where the three-membered ring of an epoxide is broken and opened to form a new compound.
Used in Organometallic-Mediated Transformations:
Lithium iodide is used as an additive in organometallic-mediated transformations, a class of reactions involving organometallic compounds that can lead to the formation of new chemical bonds or the rearrangement of existing ones.
