乙酸锂溶于水及醇,在0℃时100g水中可溶解23.76g醋酸锂。在25.8℃时,100g水中可以溶解31.28g醋酸锂;而在102.8℃时,则可溶解66.73g醋酸锂。该物质在128°C发生玻璃化转变。
制备乙酸锂可通过碳酸锂与乙酸反应制得:
[ \text{Li}_2\text{CO}_3 + 2 \text{CH}_3\text{COOH} → 2 \text{CH}_3\text{COOLi} + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2↑ ]
水中溶解度(g/100ml)不同温度下每100毫升水中的溶解克数如下:
乙酸锂用于饱和与不饱和脂肪酸的分离,制药工业用以制备利尿剂,并作为锂离子电池的重要原料。
Syntheses of 5-hydroxy-5α- and 5β-cholestan-6-one (11 and 13) and their 3β-acetoxy (10 and 21) and 3β-benzyloxy derivatives (12 and 19) are described, as are syntheses of the 7α-deutero derivatives of 10 and 21. Related investigations of the syntheses of the 5-methoxy and 5-methyl analogues of these compounds are also discussed. Treatment of 12 with potassium tert-butoxide has been shown to give 5-hydroxy-5β-cholest-3-en-6-one (14) and its Δ2 isomer 15. Reaction of 6-nitrocholesteryl acetate (50) with lithium dimethylcuprate gives 3α,5-cyclo-5α-cholestan-6-one (E)-oxime (51) as the major product.
