Global N-Butyl Lithium Market Size, Competition Landscape and Supply Chain Research Report 2025

Research Summary

N-butyl lithium is a strong, highly reactive base and organometallic compound with the chemical formula C4H9Li. It is composed of a butyl group (C4H9) bonded to a lithium atom (Li). N-butyl lithium is most commonly found as a solution in an organic solvent, such as hexanes or cyclohexane, due to its extreme reactivity and sensitivity to moisture and air. It is widely used as a strong base and as a reagent in organic synthesis. N-butyl lithium is known for its ability to deprotonate various acidic compounds, making it valuable in the synthesis of complex organic molecules. It is also frequently used as an initiator or catalyst in polymerization reactions, allowing for the creation of polymers with precise molecular architecture. As a reactive species, N-butyl lithium requires careful handling due to its pyrophoric nature (igniting spontaneously in contact with air) and its reactivity with water, alcohols, and other protic solvents. It is an essential tool in the field of organic chemistry, enabling the synthesis of a wide range of advanced materials and pharmaceuticals.
