A: |
Hey, I need to make about 10 mmol of LDA for my next reaction. What is the best way to do it? |
B: |
Did you find an appropriate experimental procedure for your reaction? |
A: |
Yes, but there are no details on how the LDA solution was made, just that a solution of LDA was used, etc. The protocol to make the LDA was not written in the experimental. |
B: |
OK, here's the gist of it. You have to use very dry glassware because the reaction is moisture sensitive and moisture will affect the quality of your reaction. Take a solution of 10.5 mmol diisopropylamine in 50 mL anhydrous THF and cool to zero degrees. Slowly add 10 mmol of n-butyllithium solution at 0 degrees and let stir for about 30 minutes, this should be ample time for complete deprotonation. That's it, then you have 10 mmols LDA in your flask. Be careful when disposing of any excess n-butyllithium that remains in the syringe. |
A: |
Why is that? Is it dangerous to use? I've never used it before, so I'm not sure how to do it correctly. |
B: |
In that case, I'll walk you through it the first time. In the beginning it's probably a good idea to ask for help when using a reagent or running a reaction that could be potentially dangerous. Until you are comfortable running the reaction on your own, just ask around if to see if anyone has experience with what ever chemistry you are doing. |
A: |
Great, I really appreciate it. |
B: |
Don't mention it. Here, let's use this bottle of n-butyllithium, I titrated it this morning. |
