Acetone Enolate via lithium | Bookmark | |||||
Can the sodium metal in the procedure for making Acetone Enolate be substitutes with lithium metal, or will the lithium ethoxide not be strong enough (if there is such a thing as lithium ethoxide ?) |

Lithium is okay to use, but it is the anion that is critical. I don't know if ethoxide is a strong enough base, but tert-butoxide certainly is, and perhaps isopropoxide is. |
