Overview | Bistrimethylsilylamine lithium is also called lithium hexamethyldisilamide (LiHMDS). Bistrimethylsilylamine lithium can be used to prepare metal complexes with low coordination numbers because of the large steric hindrance of ligand (TMS)2N. Such examples are M[N(TMS)2]3(M = SC, Ti,V,Fe;TMS =(CH3)3Si)). Reacts with trimethylchlorosilane to produce tris (trimethylsilyl) amine, in which the coordination number of nitrogen is 3, and the spatial configuration is a plane regular triangle. In organic synthesis or drug synthesis, double trimethylsilylamine lithium is usually used as a strong base to form various lithium salts through exchange reactions such as the formation of lithium acetylene, or the preparation of lithium enol salts, etc., and then further complete the functional group conversion. |
Application | Bistrimethylsilylamine lithium (LiHMDS) can be used as a non-nucleophilic strong base, which can be used to form enol reactions, enol ester stereospecific Claisen rearrangement reaction, the reaction of converting aldehyde into silimine, the reaction of glycidyl ester, the reaction of β lactam, the selective cleavage reaction of aryl alkyl ether, it is mainly used in laboratory research and development process and organic synthesis process. |
prepare | to ensure that the 500L reactor is clean and dry, the pressure gauge and thermometer are within the validity period, the bottom valve is closed, and the reactor is replaced three times with argon; Add 180kg of tetrahydrofuran and 100kg of hexamethyldisilazane to the reactor through the high-level tank, cool down to -15 ℃ 5 ℃, maintain this temperature, and open the balance pipe valve, the n-butyl lithium solution (2.5M n-hexane solution) with a mass of 171kg and a molar concentration of 1.6M-2.5M was added dropwise through a high-level tank for about 6 hours, the temperature was raised to 10 ℃, and the temperature was kept for 1 hour to obtain the lithium hexamethyldisilamide solution. The concentration was sampled and the yield was 98%. |
Use | Used for aldehyde-alcohol condensation, it is a commonly used organic base Non-nucleophilic strong base, which can be used to form enol reactions, enol ester stereospecific Claisen rearrangement reaction, the reaction of converting aldehyde into silimine, the reaction of glycidyl ester, the reaction of β-lactam, and the selective cleavage reaction of aryl alkyl ether. |
