Lanthanum(III) chloride bis(lithium chloride) complex solution is a biochemical that mediates Grignard additions. It is also a reagent for metal exchange reactions and a promoter for the addition of organometallic compounds to sterically hindered (enolizable or α,β-unsaturated) ketones or imines.
Remarks:
The dry residue is explosive. Peroxide formation is checked periodically/before distillation. If there is precipitation, please filter before use.
