Dimethylsilyl(t-butylamino)chloride → N-tert-butyl-N-dimethylsilyl-3-phenyl-1H-inden-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium-1-Phenylindenide (5.53 g, 0.0279 moles) in THF (50 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of dimethylsilyl(t-butylamino)chloride (4.62 g, 0.0279 moles) in THF (100 mL). This mixture was allowed to stir 16 hours. After the reaction period the volatiles were removed and the residue extracted and filtered using hexane. Removal of the hexane resulted in the isolation of the desired product as an oil (8.63 g, 96.2 percent).
