Chemical Structure



Lithium lactate is a versatile compound widely used in chemical synthesis applications. Due to its unique properties, Lithium lactate is a preferred reagent in the production of pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and polymers. In chemical synthesis, Lithium lactate serves as a source of both lithium and lactate ions, participating in a variety of reactions to form new compounds. Its ability to act as a chiral ligand also makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis, enabling the creation of enantiopure products. Additionally, Lithium lactate can be employed as a catalyst in certain reactions, promoting the conversion of substrates into desired products through its Lewis acidic nature. Its water solubility and stability under mild conditions further enhance its utility in various synthetic processes.
