Preparation and reactions

It can be prepared from 1-butanol by treatment with hydrogen chloride.[4]

It reacts with lithium metal to give n-butyllithium:[5]

2 Li + CH3(CH2)3Cl → CH3(CH2)3Li + LiCl
gollark: * didn't happen
gollark: Idea: what if you make a machine which will automatically open the box if an XK-class scenario occurs/is imminent?]
gollark: Probability fuses or something.
gollark: Although you could have a cool name for it.
gollark: basically the box thing but the same !!!!
