In summary, we have shown that sensitive organolithium reagents such as PhLi and BuLi can be successfully incorporated within C36H74 organogel delivery vehicles. The gel network provides significant stability towards ambient conditions and, as a result, these organolithium gels have the potential to be used without the need for many of the special working protocols usually needed for this type of chemistry. Our gel-phase approach, using just a small amount of a readily available, lowcost gelator, C36H74, in an organic solvent, has several advantages, including solvent compatibility, simple manufacture and an even distribution of the reagent through the gel for effective subdivision and accurate reaction dosing. The use of gels as delivery vehicles for hazardous organometallic reagents has the potential to revolutionise this area of synthetic chemistry, making these widely-used reactions safer and more accessible, and enabling the more widespread use of these synthetic methods. We anticipate that gels could, for example, be commercially supplied as individual doses wrapped in foil, or alternatively in syringe tubes which enable the extrusion of the required amount of gel for the reaction to be carried out. We also perceive benefits in the use of this simple gel additive technology for the long-term storage and/or shipping of bulk samples of organolithium reagents in industry. It is anticipated that this simple gel-mediated approach to reagent stabilisation could also be applied to other moisture-and air-sensitive reagents and work in this direction is currently in progress.
