This species, usually called NaHMDS (sodium hexamethyldisilazide), is a strong base used for deprotonation reactions or base-catalyzed reactions. Its advantages are that it is commercially available as a solid and it is soluble not only in ethers, such as THF or diethyl ether , but also in aromatic solvents, like benzene and toluene by virtue ...
Lithium, sodium, and potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amides are commercially available. When free of solvent, the lithium [5] and sodium [6] complexes are trimeric, and ...
Bis(trimethylsilyl)amine (also known as hexamethyldisilazane and HMDS) is an organosilicon compound with the molecular formula [(CH 3) 3 Si] 2 NH. The molecule is a derivative of ammonia with trimethylsilyl groups in place of two hydrogen atoms.
used in the industrial production of indigo, hydrazine, and sodium cyanide; [5] used for the drying of ammonia; used as a strong base in organic chemistry Sodium azide gas-forming component in airbag systems; used in organic synthesis to introduce the azide functional group by displacement of halides
This reaction can be optimized by carefully controlling the amount of organolithium reagent addition, or using trimethylsilyl chloride to quench excess lithium reagent. [40] A more common way to synthesize ketones is through the addition of organolithium reagents to Weinreb amides ( N -methoxy- N -methyl amides).
Tris(trimethylsilyl)amine is obtained by reaction of the sodium salt of hexamethyldisilazane - from hexamethyldisilazane and sodium amide [7] or from hexamethyldisilazane, sodium and styrene [1] - with trimethylchlorosilane in 80% yield. [8]
A typical reducing agent is N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)-4,4'-bipyridinylidene. Related pyrazine- and cyclohexadiene-based reagents have been developed. They are red or orange THF-soluble solids. The bipyridine reagent is produced by reduction of 4,4'-bipyridine in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride (Me = CH 3): [2]
