General description

Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide solution (LiHMDS) is generally used in organic synthesis as a non-nucleophilic strong Bronsted base.

Application

LiHMDS can be used as a reagent:
  • In the deprotonation and nucleophilic difluoromethylation reactions.
  • To synthesize isoquinoline derivatives by the addition of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) to the α-benzyl tosylmethyl isocyanides.
  • To prepare arylboronic acid pinacol esters by the reaction of aryl fluorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction.

Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is generally used in organic synthesis as a non-nucleophilic strong Brønsted base. It can be used for salt metathesis reaction for the synthesis of cesium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (CsHMDS) and lithium fluoride by reacting with cesium fluoride.

Full details of an anti-selective catalytic asymmetric nitroaldol reaction promoted by a heterobimetallic catalyst comprised of Nd(5)O(O(i)Pr)(13), an amide-based ligand, and NaHMDS (sodium hexamethyldisilazide) are described. A systematic synthesis and evaluation of amide-based ligands led to the identification of optimum
