About n-Butyl lithium ~1.6M in hexane

n-Butyl lithium ~1.6M in hexane is an organometallic reagent carrying the CAS registry number 109-72-8, specified at ≥15.05% purity. With the molecular formula C4H9Li, it has a molar mass of 64.1 g/mol. Common synonyms include n-BuLi and n-Butyllithium solution.

It is supplied as a colourless to yellow liquid. Reported physical data include a density of 0.68 g/mL at 25 °C. Store it at 2–8 °C, in a tightly closed container. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include carbon–carbon bond formation, grignard and organometallic chemistry, organic synthesis and pharmaceutical synthesis. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research and polymers and plastics.

Standard pack sizes are 100 mL and 1 L, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
