General description
Application
- A source of chloride anion for the conversion of alcohols to alkyl chloride under Mitsunobu conditions.
- An additive in the palladium-catalyzed coupling and carbonylative coupling reactions of organostannanes and vinyl triflates.
- A reagent for the cleavage of protecting groups under mild conditions. It readily converts acetals and ketals to the corresponding carbonyl compounds.
- A reagent in the dehydrohalogenation of α-halocarbonyl compounds to α,β-unsaturated carbonyls compound in the presence of DMF.
LiCl is also used with other reagents:
- LiCl:DIPEA (1:1 molar ratio) is used in Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons alkenation reaction.
- LiCl:Hexamethylphosphoric triamide is used in decarboxylative alkylation and chloride displacement reactions.
- LiCl is used as an additive in solid-phase peptide synthesis because it increases resin swelling and improves the efficiencies of complex coupling steps.
Features and Benefits
- Easy to handle
- Weak Lewis acid
- Highly soluble in water

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
