Versatility of Butyllithium
Butyllithium from Albemarle is critical to the rubber and plastics industries as an anionic initiator for polyisoprene, polybutadiene and butadiene/styrene copolymers. Additionally, butyllithium is an increasingly valuable tool in the organic synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and electronic materials. Due to its strong base strength, it can be used as versatile reagents for the metalation (deprotonation or metal-halogen exchange) of organic substrates.
Albemarle offers a variety of packaging and delivery options for customers' butyllithium requirements.
