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.

The objectives of this study were to assess demineralized dentin porosity and quantify the different porous features distribution within the material using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) technique. We compared hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) drying and lyophilization (LYO) (freeze-drying) in sample preparation. Fifty-six
High-density live cell array serves as a valuable tool for the development of high-throughput immunophenotyping systems and cell-based biosensors. In this paper, we have, for the first time, demonstrated a simple fabrication process to form the hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and poly(ethylene

A silica microsphere suspension and a silica sol are employed in a two-step dipping process for the preparation of a superhydrophobic surface. It's not only a facile way to achieve the lotus effect, but can also create a multi-functional surface

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
Here we report the colloidal synthesis of size-tunable SnS nanocrystals that have an unusual meta-stable cubic zinc-blende phase instead of the more stable layered orthorhombic phase. The single-crystalline zinc-blende SnS nanocrystals with sizes of 8 nm, 60 nm, and 700
