N-TERT-BUTYLTRIMETHYLSILYLAMINE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

N-tert-Butyltrimethylsilylamine may be used in the preparation of selenium and tellurium chalcogenides and the facile synthesis of N-alkylaminomethylphosphonates.

Preparation

N-tert-Butyltrimethylsilylamine is prepared by the reaction of the parent amines with n-Butyllithium in THF/hexane. The parent amines are prepared by the reaction of lithium t-butylamide and the corresponding chlorosilanes (eq 1).

General Description

N-tert-Butyltrimethylsilylamine (Me₃SiNH-t-Bu) reacts with [Cp*Rh(H₂O)₃](OTf)₂ in acetone to yield a hydroxyl-capped half-cubane [Cp*3Rh₃(μ-OH)3(μ₃-OH)](OTf)₃(t-BuNH₃).

storage

N-tert-Butyltrimethylsilylamine reacts readily with protic solvents, especially water, and must be maintained in a dry environment. It is thermally stable. Use in a fume hood.

Purification Methods

Best purified by distillation.
