Application

Lithium diisopropylamide can be used for the generation of carbanion or enolate anions from carbonyl group-containing compounds.
It can also be used as a base in:
  • The direct alkylation and acylation of ketones.
  • The aldol condensation reaction.
  • α-Selenation reaction.
  • The synthesis of α, β- unsaturated carbonyl compounds from carbonyl compounds.
  • The alkylation of acids, esters, amides, and nitriles.
  • The initiation of anionic polymerization.

General description

Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is a hindered non-nucleophilic strong base that abstracts hydrogen from active carbon. It can be prepared from diisopropylamine and butyllithium in the presence of tetrahydrofuran.
