Organolithiums are a type of organometallic compound in which the carbon of an organic group is directly bonded to a lithium atom. The term is also sometimes used for compounds in which a nitrogen or other non-metallic atom of an organic group is...

An organolithium reagent is an organometallic compound with a direct bond between a carbon and a lithium atom. As the electropositive nature of lithium puts most of the charge density of the bond on the carbon atom, effectively creating a carbanion,...
