  • Aggregation and Solvation of n-Butyllithium
    Organic letters, 2017
    Co-Authors: Onkei Tai, Russell Hopson, Paul G. Williard
    Abstract:

    Solution characterizations and ligand binding constants were determined for n-Butyllithium in hydrocarbon and ethereal solvents using diffusion-ordered NMR. In hydrocarbon solvents, n-Butyllithium exists primarily as an octamer at −40 °C and deaggregates to a hexamer when the temperature is increased. In the presence of THF or diethyl ether, n-Butyllithium exists predominantly as a tetra-solvated tetramer and deaggregates to a tetra-solvated dimer in the presence of a large excess or neat THF. The ligand binding constants for the tetra-solvated tetramers were measured using 1H NMR/DOSY titration.

  • characterization of hexameric and octameric sec Butyllithium sec butoxide mixed aggregates
    European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, 2013
    Co-Authors: Russell Hopson, Paul G. Williard
    Abstract:

    Solution-state characterization of sec-Butyllithium in [D8]toluene was conducted by utilizing a variety of NMR spectroscopic experiments including diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) with diffusion-coefficient–formula-weight correlation analyses and other one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic techniques. These results suggest that sec-Butyllithium exists primarily as a tetramer/hexamer mixture in hydrocarbon solvents. However, the presence of roughly 2–5 % (by mol ratio) lithium sec-butoxide in both commercially available and laboratory-synthesized sec-Butyllithium solutions due to the reaction with adventitious dioxygen will lead to the formation of a 1:5 sec-butoxide/sec-Butyllithium mixed hexamer. A sec-butoxide/sec-Butyllithium mixed octamer will emerge when the proportion of butoxide to Butyllithium increases.

  • Solid-state structures of n-Butyllithium-TMEDA, -THF, and -DME complexes
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1993
    Co-Authors: Michael A. Nichols, Paul G. Williard
    Abstract:

    Solid-state structures for a series of n-Butyllithium (n-BuLi)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), n-Butyllithium-THF, and n-Butyllithium-dimethoxyethane (DME) complexes and their relevance to previous solution studies of related alkyllithium complexes and synthetic organic chemistry will be presented. X-ray crystal structures for the following complexes have been determined: [(n-BuLi) 4 .TMEDA] ∞ (2); (n-BuLi.TMEDA) 2 (2); (n-BuLi-THF) 4 .n-Hex (3); and [(n-BuLi).DME] ∞ (4). An easy method of purification for n-Butyllithium will also be discussed
