Details

Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is used in generating enolates for preparing lactone precursors, pyranones, and cyclohexanes. It is used to catalyze the addition of phosphine P-H bonds to carbodiimides leading to phosphaguanidines and in a novel three-step synthesis of disubstituted 1,2,5-thiadiazoles. It is also used in the lithiation of ethyl acetate and in the stereospecific Wadsworth-Emmons synthesis of fluoroalkenes from (E)- and (Z)-fluorovinyl sulfones.
