Application
- Copolymerization of butadiene and styrene under the influence of n-butyllithium: This study explores the copolymerization process using n-butyllithium as a catalyst, which is significant for the development of new synthetic rubber materials (V Bronskaya et al., 2023).
- Modifiers of n-Butyllithium in the Synthesis of Polybutadiene and Styrene-Butadiene Rubbers: Explores the use of n-butyllithium with different modifiers in the synthesis of industrial rubbers, important for understanding the control of polymer properties (VS Glukhovskoi et al., 2014).
- Aggregation and Solvation of n-Butyllithium: Examines the aggregation behavior and solvation properties of n-butyllithium in various solvents, providing insights into its chemical interactions essential for organic synthesis (O Tai et al., 2017).

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have stimulated lots of interest because they are direct bandgap materials that have reasonably good mobility values. However, contact between most metals and semiconducting TMDCs like 2H phase WSe2 are highly resistive

A procedure for the coupling of aliphatic imines with allylic and allenic alkoxides is described. The success of these studies was enabled by a unique reactivity profile of Ti(IV) isopropoxide/n-BuLi compared to well-known Ti(IV) isopropoxide/RMgX systems.

Treatment of dimethyl sulfoxide with butyllithium leads to rapid formation of lithium methylsulfinyl carbanion. The reaction products tend to be significantly freer from impurities when lithium methylsulfinyl carbanion is used rather than sodium or potassium methylsulfinyl carbanion. This reagent gives

The effects of lithium dialkylamide structure, mixed aggregate formation, and solvation on the stereoselectivity of ketone enolization were examined. Of the lithium dialkylamides examined, lithium tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP) in THF resulted in the best enolization selectivity. The stereoselectivity was further improved
