Schlosser's base describes various superbasic mixtures of an alkyllithium compound and a potassium alkoxide. Commonly, the mixture is composed of n-butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide. The reagent is named after Manfred Schlosser, though he uses the term LICKOR superbase (LIC denoting the alkyllithium, and KOR denoting the potassium alkoxide).
