Solution

Answering the Question

The statement "Reactions with butyllithium compounds are endothermic" is generally considered False.

Butyllithium is a strong organolithium reagent commonly used in organic chemistry to deprotonate various substrates or to initiate polymerization reactions. The reactions involving butyllithium typically release heat (are exothermic) rather than absorbing heat (endothermic).

For instance, when butyllithium reacts with a weak acid, it effectively deprotonates the acid, resulting in the formation of a lithium alkoxide and a negative charge that leads to a release of energy.

In conclusion, the correct response to the statement is False because the majority of the reactions involving butyllithium are exothermic.
