Overview

Lithium chloride (LiCl) is a lithium salt. In chemical synthesis, it is used as a source of chlorine nucleophiles as well as a source of chlorine ligands. LiCl is also used as a desiccant in dry air streams.

Application:

Lithium chloride can be used as: 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.
