Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The product from Step 1 (13.0 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (140 ml) was cooled to −70° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen with stirring and a solution of n-butyl lithium (23.1 ml of 2.5M solution in hexanes) was added at −65 to −70° C. during 5 minutes. The mixture was allowed to warm to −5° C. and methyl iodide (3.93 ml) was added dropwise over 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 10° C. when an exothermic reaction occurred. The mixture was maintained at 20° C. by cooling for 2 hours then evaporated under reduced pressure to a small volume. The residue was dissolved in hexane, filtered to remove the insoluble material and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 1-(1,1-dimethyl-2-butynyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-aza-2,5-disilacyclopentane as a yellow oil, 13.0 g.
