Template:Chembox new Lithium tetramethylpiperidide or LiTMP is an organic base and a non-nucleophilic base.[1] It is traditionally synthesised from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and n-butyllithium at -78 °C, but recent reports show this reaction is sluggish and is better formed at 0 °C.[2] The compound is stable in a THF/ethylbenzene solvent mixture and commercially available as such. LiTMP has a pKa of 37.[2]
