Organolithium Reagents

We've seen one organometallic reagent before, the Grignard reagent. That had magnesium in it. Well now let's learn another! Organolithium reagents are commonly used, so let's see what they do.

I love this format of whiteboard work! Really takes me back to your earlier instructing vids! Awesome work!

[@strangeandwonderful247]

Very nice, thank you. Synthetic chemistry is kind of hobby and passion. I really get into all the differences and species/compounds that you can create with it. You explained this well. The only is the final link in the chain of the organolitium with deprotonation and the Bronsted-Lowry theory. Maybe a little more on the uses of the final species or the theory itself?? Maybe you have covered it previous, in all honesty I actually just happened upon your channel (glad I did). But overall very well done.

Helpful video. Covered essential material in such a short time.

[@Adam-zb5kk]

This is timely. Just started on organolithiums last week.

[@mres99lam70]

You're brilliant dave!

[@AnnaKwonda]

Thank you for all you do!

[@WillRennar]

This is not my field of study at _all,_ so honestly I only understood about half of what you covered...which is about a half more than I would have expected to.
The fact that you helped this make _any_ sense to someone like me says quite a lot. Keep up the great work, Professor!

Thank u so much I was looking for ,organolitium on alkyne, so I got my answer here ,after searching a lot in chrome.🙏

[@taetaewith-I2895]

great video thank you prof dave

[@tarek7741]

Thanks professor Dave
I really appreciate you
U are my Idea ❤❤

[@chemistryguy9679]

Thank you!

[@aryakrishnab8361]

Sir, Can you explain Methodology and Perspective of Sciences and General Informatics, for Chemistry main students

[@fakhrulnawawi9681]

Nice I, understand everything

[@bobsenior9218]

I totally understood "today where going to talk about".

[@faheemqurashi]

Why we called organosilicon compounds organometallic though Si isn't metal?

[@mhamedmedjhoud9953]

hello professor ,i've a question : you didn't talk about the mecanisme of the prepation of organolithium reagents

[@NewWesternFront]

it involves a 1,2 ligma shift

[@jessicazwilling7456]

Ah! You cut your hair! Looks great :)

[@danielgladish2502]

Great video! When organolithium does the attack on the carbonyl, would it generate a racemic mixture if a chiral center is produced? Thanks Prof Dave

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

yep!

[@danielgladish2502]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains Wow super fast reply! Thanks for answering my question :)

[@alexlanyi2329]

How can BuLi and RX react to RLi and BuX?

[@richellemaepadilla4668]

Your haircut looks good!

[@Zetsuke4]

wow

[@topiado2073]

Gunit sir

[@cubingwithayush3164]

Nice . Pin it
