Lithium amide is a strong base used primarily in organic synthesis. Typical reactions reported for lithium amide include aldol condensations, alkylations of heterocyclic amines, and formation of cyclopropenes. It is also proven an effective catalyst in transesterification reactions. For leading references, consult 1) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1894, 65, 517; 2) Handbook in Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, Academic Press, New York, 2nd Ed, 1963, p 463.
