No. A litre is a volume, a mass is a mass. You could measure a litre in litres! and mass in grams or kilograms.

It is only in the case of pure water, at a sepecific temperature (4 deg C) and specific pressure (760 mm of Mercury), that a litre of water has a mass of 1 kilogram. At any other temperature or pressure, the conversion is approximate. And that applies only to pure water, no other substance.

A litre of air, for example, will have far less mass than a litre of water.
