Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is commonly used in organic synthesis as a non-nucleophilic strong Bronsted base. It is soluble in most nonpolar solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons, hexanes, and THF.
Application
Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide can be used as a reagent:
In the deprotonation and nucleophilic difluoromethylation reactions.
3-methoxy substituted dihydropyrrole derivatives by reacting with aldehydes and lithiated methoxyallene via in situ formations of N-trimethylsilylated imines.
In Darzens condensation and directed aldol condensation reactions.
To synthesize poly(N-octyl-p-benzamide)s by chain-growth polycondensation of 4-octylaminobenzoic acid methyl ester.
Using the pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and off-line pyrolysis/silylation methods for lignites from three Miocene brown coal basins of Poland resulted in the characterization of many organic compounds, including dominant cellulose degradation products such as levoglucosan, 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-glucofuranose, and 1,4:3,6-dianhydroglucopyranose. Levoglucosan is

This paper presents a derivatization, mass fragmentation study relating to the most common six cholic acids, such as cholic, lithocholic, chenodeoxycholic, ursodeoxycholic, 3-hydroxy,7-ketocholanic and dehydrocholic acids, identified and quantified as pollutants in the aquatic environment at the first time. Derivatizations

(-)-Dysibetaine has been synthesized in 11 steps from readily available L-malic acid (see scheme). The key step is a unique Ugi 4-center-3-component cyclization reaction, where an ester group acts as the carboxylic acid component. The use of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane as an

Two-dimensional silica nanoparticle assemblies were obtained by deposition of bubble made from a surfactant solution containing nanoparticles onto hydrophobic silicon substrate. The morphologies of the nanoparticle assemblies can be finely controlled by several experimental parameters, including surfactant concentration, nanoparticle concentration
Chemical and topographical cues can be used to guide dissociated neurons into user-defined network geometries on artificial substrates, yet control of neuron polarity (differentiation into axons and dendrites) remains an elusive goal. We developed a dual guidance cue strategy for
