Potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide → HCID 23684418, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-4-naphthylindene (1.00 g, 3.27 mmole) was dissolved in 20 ml of toluene, potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1.05 equivalent, 3.43 mmole, 0.684 g) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, during which a yellow solid precipitated. Hexane was added (20 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 2 h. The solid product was isolated by vacuum filtration through a medium porosity frit. The solid was pumped dry giving 1.10 g, 98 percent of the desired product.
