Production of lithium amide, used as reagent in organic synthesis, e.g. condensation or alkylation, comprises converting lithium to bronze with ammonia and reaction with 1,3-diene or arylolefin in solvent

摘要

Production of lithium amide (LiNH2) comprises (1) converting lithium (Li) metal with ammonia to Li bronze (I); and (2) reacting (I) with a 1,3-diene or arylolefin in the presence of a solvent.
