Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties    Slightly yellow to light beige crystalline powder
Physical properties    mp 171–175 °C; bp 170 °C/2 mmHg.
Uses    Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is a synthetically useful reagent in that it combines both high basicity and nucleophilicity, each of which may be exploited for useful organic transformations such as selective formation of enolates, preparation of Wittig reagents, formation of acyl anion equivalents, and the generation of carbenoid species. As a nucleophile, it has been used as a nitrogen source for the preparation of primary amines.It is useful as a sterically hindered base and as a nucleophile.
Uses    It is a strong base; deprotonates ketones and esters to generate enolate derivative.
Uses    Significantly accelerated the polymerization of pheneylacetylene in conjunction with rhodium (I) catalysis
Purification Methods    It can be sublimed at 170o/2mm (bath temperature 220-250o) onto a cold finger, and can be recrystallised from *C6H6 (its solubility is: 10g in 100mL at 60o). It is slightly soluble in Et2O and is decomposed by H2O. [Wannagat & Niederprüm Chem Ber 94 1540 1961.]It is available commercially under N2 in Sure/Seal bottles in tetrahydrofuran (various concentrations) and at ~0.6M in toluene. [Beilstein 4 IV 4014.]
