Introduction | Sodium di (trimethylsilyl) amide is usually called NaHMDS (sodium hexamethyldisilane diazonium), which is a strong base and is often used for deprotonation in reactions or as a catalyst in alkaline reactions. The advantage of this compound is that it can be a solid reagent and is soluble in a wide range of aprotic solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran, ether, benzene or toluene. It has very strong basicity but poor nucleophilicity. This is due to the fact that there are two large and lipophilic trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups in the molecule that affect its participation in nucleophilic substitution reactions. |
Application | Bis (trimethylsilyl) sodium amide is a non-nucleophilic strong base that can be used to prepare pharmaceutical intermediates. NaHMDS is widely used to neutralize C- H acids. For example, some typical examples: deprotonation of ketones and esters to obtain their enol derivatives. By dehydrohalogenating CH2X2(X = Br, I), halogenated carbene similar to CHBr and CHI forms are obtained. These carbene compounds can be added to olefins to obtain cyclopropane compounds containing substituents. Georg Wittig reagent was prepared by deprotonation of quaternary ammonium salt. Deprotonation of cyanohydrins. NaHMDS can also be used as a neutralizing base for N-H acids. |
Use | Sodium di (trimethylsilyl) amide (NaHMDS) is a representative of synonymous compounds, as well as lithium di (trimethylsilyl) amide (LiHMDS) and potassium di (trimethylsilyl) amide (KHMDS). They are widely used in organic synthesis of large sterically hindered alkali reagents, di (trimethylsilyl) amino in tetrahydrofuran pKa = 29.5. Compared with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), it has weak alkalinity, but it is very convenient to operate and use. It has good solubility in most organic solvents, and the temperature range used is very wide, and its reaction ability can be adjusted from -78°C to the reflux temperature of toluene. Its chemical reactivity is very similar to LDA, and it is often used to generate carbanions and enol ions. Non-nucleophilic strong base |
