lithium ethanide - Reference Information
| physical and chemical properties | ethyl lithium, chemical formula C2H5Li. It is a colorless flake crystal. Melting point 95 ℃ (in nitrogen atmosphere).

When heated, it is decomposed into ethylene, lithium hydride and a small amount of butane and butene. |
| Preparation | Ethyl lithium can be prepared by reacting bromoethane and metal lithium in pentane. |
| Precautions | The dry solid of ethyl lithium is easy to catch fire when exposed to the air. The solution is flammable and corrosive, and will react violently when exposed to water. After a week of storage at low temperature, nearly half of the reagent will be converted into ethane, ethylene and acetaldehyde. |
