Application

Lithium iodide, a white to off-white crystalline powder, serves several essential roles across various fields. It significantly enhances regioselectivity in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions, showcasing its value in organic synthesis. It is instrumental in cleaving C-O bonds, such as transforming methyl esters into carboxylic acids. As a crucial compound formed by the combination of lithium and iodine, lithium iodide is used as an electrolyte in high-temperature and long-life batteries, making it integral to devices like artificial pacemakers. Additionally, it finds application in dye-sensitized solar cells and functions as a radio contrast agent in X-ray computed tomography imaging studies.
