Lithium laurate is an metallorganic compound with the chemical formula LiO
2C(CH

10CH
3. It is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid.[1] [2][3][4] In contrast to the lubricants lithium stearate and lithium 12-hydroxystearate, lithium laurate is of minor commercial value..

## Physical properties

Lithium laurate forms colorless crystals of the tetragonal crystal system, with cell parameters a = 2.83 nm, c = 1.17 nm, and 24 formula units per cell (Z = 24).

Lithium laurate is slightly soluble in water, ethanol, and diethyl ether.[5]
