How would butyllithium react with diethylamine?

Ayhan K. Isaacs  Follow

C4H9Li — n- butyllithium is a super base.

It reacts with diethylamine serving as a base and accepting H+.

Hence, C4H9Li + (C2H5)2 NH→ (C2H5)2NLi + C4H10

(C2H5)2NH + n-BuLi = ( C2H5 )2N-Li+ + butane

The reaction will generate a bulky base.
