Aminosilylation of aldehydes mediated by lithium perchlorate: novel method for synthesis of α-silylamines
Abstract
α-Silylated N,N-dialkylamines 7a–k were easily synthesized in good to excellent yields from aldehydes 1, (trimethylsilyl)dialkylamines 2, and phenyldimethylsilyllithium 4, diphenylmethylsilyllithium 5, or triphenylsilyllithium 6, in concentrated ethereal lithium perchlorate solution.
