Lanthanum Chloride Lithium Chloride Complex, typ. 15 % solution in THF (typ. 0.6 M)
LaCl3
Lanthanum Chloride Lithium Chloride Complex (CAS 10099-58-8) is a lanthanum complex with molecular formula LaCl3·LiCl. It is supplied as a typical 15% solution in THF.
Solutions of the Lanthanum Chloride Lithium Chloride Complex are used as an additive in organic chemical transformations. It is used to enable selective alkylations to carbonyl compounds (1,2 additions).
Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent contamination (and moisture pickup where applicable). Use standard industrial hygiene practices and consult the SDS for handling, incompatibilities, and spill response.
Applications
Soluble anhydrous lanthanoid compositions for selective alkylations.

Product is hygroscopic and should be handled in closed apparatus under inert gas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes as well as inhalation. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Flash-back possible over considerable distance. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Take measures against electrostatic discharges. Protect from heat. Never add oxidizing materials to the product. Pay attention to the safety data sheet (see also: ”Transport regulations” and “GHS Hazard Pictograms“).
Storage Instructions
Store in well ventilated areas in tightly closed containers. May crystallize below - 10°C. When stored according to SDS the material is fairly stable. We still recommend to retest the material 6 month after date of analysis if included on CoA. If not included, use the date of manufacturing for the calculation.
