Procedure
Compound 7E (14.1 g, 26.4 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen. A solution of LiHMDS (27 mL, 1.0M in THF, 27.0 mmol) was added slowly at −78° C. Upon completion of the addition, the reaction flask was allowed to warm to room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 2 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and hexane (100 mL) was added. The precipitated lithium salts were filtered off through a Celite pad, rinsed with additional hexane, and the combined filtrates were concentrated under vacuum to give crude bis(trimethylsilyl)amine product 7F (26.4 mmol), which was stored as a stock solution for future use.
