<p>A process for the preparation of lithium amide comprising essentially forming lithium bronze by introducing at least 1 equivalent of anhydrous ammonia over a 1 to 5 hour period into a dispersion containing one equivalent of lithium in a liquid hydrocarbon solvent at a temperature of up to 40 °C, then after the lithium bronze is formed, heating the reaction mixture to 50 to 80 °C for 2 to four hours to decompose the lithium bronze and form a suspension of lithium amide in the solvent from which suspension the lithium amide is recovered.</p> |
