Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Propertieslight yellow to yellow crystalline powder
Physical propertiesdistillable low-melting solid; mp 70–72 °C, bp115 °C/1mmHg. LHMDS is a cyclic trimer in the solid state,3whereas in benzene solution it exists in a monomer–dimerequilibrium. LHMDS exists as a tetramer-dimer mixture inhydrocarbons and as a dimer-monomer mixture in THF andether. Treatment of LHMDS with trialkylamines increases themonomer concentration, whereas the use of diamines affordsexclusively the corresponding chelated monomer. LHMDSis less soluble, less basic, more stable, and much less sensitiveto air compared to lithium diisopropylamide. pKa 29.5 (THF,27 °C).
UsesLithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is used as nonnucleophilic base to generate kinetic ketone and ester enolates. It is considerably more selective than LDA and undesired reductions (e.g., of nonenolizable ketones observed in the case of LDA) can be avoided by using LHMDS.
UsesLithium Hexamethyldisilazide is widely used as strong nonnucleophilic base
UsesLithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is a base used in preparation of dienes and enolates. It is used to catalyze the addition of phosphine P-H bonds to carbodiimides leading to phosphaguanidines. Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is also used in a novel three-step synthesis of disubstituted 1,2,5-thiadiazoles.
PreparationIt is conveniently prepared by the reaction ofhexamethyldisilazane with n-butyllithium in hexane. For mostuses the hexane is then evaporated and replaced with THF.
General DescriptionThis product, 0.5 M in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran aligns with Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries, Use of Renewable Feedstocks and Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention.
Flammability and ExplosibilityHighly flammable
