General description

Lithium acetate dihydrate is one of the commercially available forms of lithium acetate. It is used as a precursor material for the synthesis of various lithium-based compounds. It is also used as a catalyst in several chemical reactions.

Application

Lithium acetate dihydrate (LiOAc.2H2O) can be used as a precursor material to synthesize:      
  • Carbon-modified nanocrystalline LiFePO4 (LiFePO4/C) via sol-gel method using ferrous sulfate, phosphoric acid, citric acid, and polyethylene glycol.      
  • Lithium-graphite nanotubes (LGN) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in the presence of copper with methane as the carbon source.     
  • Conductive polycrystalline solid-state electrolyte (Li4B7O12Cl) by reacting with boric acid and copper(II) chloride dihydrate in trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride via an ionothermal method.

It can also be used as a catalyst in the enantioselective synthesis of functionalized 1,3-thiazin-4-ones via N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed [3 + 3] annulation of thioamides.
