Imidazole (ImH) catalyzes the silylation reaction of primary, secondary, and tertiary aUcanethiols with hexamethyldisilazane. The mechanism is proposed to involve the intermediacy of N-(trimethylsilyl)imidazole (ImTMS), since its preparation from hexamethyldisilazane and imidazole to yield l-(trimethylsilyl)-imidazole is rapid. The imidazole-catalyzed reactions of hexamethyldisilazane, however, are more efficient than the silylation reactions effected by ImTMS (eq 6 vs. eq 7) due to reversibility of the latter. Imidazole also catalyzes the reaction of HMDS with hydrogen sulfide, which provides a convenient preparation of hexamethyldisilathiane, a reagent which has found utility in sulfur transfer reactions. ... 

N-silylated imines 509 react with the Li salts of tosylmethylisonitriles to give 4,5-disubstituted imidazoles in moderate yields [93]. Acetylation of N-trimethylsilyl imines 509 with acetyl chloride and triethylamine affords 72-80% of the aza-dienes 510 these undergo readily Diels-Alder reactions, e.g. with maleic anhydride at 24 °C to give 511 [94] or with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give dimethyl pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylates [94] (Scheme 5.29). 

Treatment of the sulfoxide 1222 a with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride 85 a and excess imidazole in DMF at 25 °C furnishes the imidazole derivative 1223a in 70% yield, whereas the phenyl derivative 1222b affords, besides 47% of 1223b , the cyclized product 1224 in 24% yield and 94 a and imidazole hydrochloride [34] (Scheme 8.14). Reaction of 1225 with N-(trimethylsilyl)imidazole 1219 at 170°C affords 1226 in 50% yield [35]. 

In 2002, Leadbeater and Torenius reported the base-catalyzed Michael addition of methyl acrylate to imidazole using ionic liquid-doped toluene as a reaction medium (Scheme 6.133 a) [190], A 75% product yield was obtained after 5 min of microwave irradiation at 200 °C employing equimolar amounts of Michael acceptor/donor and triethylamine base. As for the Diels-Alder reaction studied by the same group (see Scheme 6.91), l-(2-propyl)-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (pmimPF6) was the ionic liquid utilized (see Table 4.3). Related microwave-promoted Michael additions studied by Jennings and coworkers involving indoles as heterocyclic amines are shown in Schemes 6.133 b [230] and 6.133 c [268], Here, either lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS) or potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu) was em-... 

Disilathianes, for example (SiH3)2S and [(CH3)3Si] 2S, have been prepared by several routes, namely, the reaction of iodosilane with silver8 and mercuric2 sulfides halosilanes with lithium sulfide,7 [NH4]SH,9 and [Me3NH]SH7 disilaselenane with H2S10 and trisilylphosphine with sulfur.10 Recently, the synthesis of hexamethyldisilathiane, [(CH3)3Si] 2S, was described from the protolysis of l-(trimethylsilyl)imidazole with H2S and from the dehydrohalogen-ation of chlorotrimethylsilane and H2S with a tertiary amine.11 Both of these methods require about 18 hours. 

Transsilylation. Several reagents have been recommended for preparation of /-butyldimethylsilyl ethers by transsilylation. These include allyl-r-butyldimethyl-silane and /-butyldimethylsilyl enol ethers of pentane-2,4-dione and methyl aceto-ucelate,2 both prepared with r-butyldimethylchlorosilane and imidazole. Unlike the reaction of r-butyldimethylchlorosilane with alcohols, which requires a base catalyst, these new reagents convert alcohols to silyl ethers under slightly acidic conditions (TsOH) in good yield. The trimethylsilyl ethers of pentane-2,4-dione and methyl acetoacetate convert alcohols to trimethylsilyl ethers at room temperature even with no catalyst. The former reagent is also useful for silylation of nucleotides.3... 

Reaction of 4,5-disubstituted imidazole 1-oxide with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) leads to 2-cyanoimidazole. If devoid of substituents at C4 and C5, the cyano (CN) group also enters these positions (1996JOC6971). The reactivity of the 2-, 4-, and 5-position is comparable and 245 reacts with TMSCN affording the isomeric cyanoimidazoles 296-298 in a ratio that depends on the nature of the 3-substituent, solvent polarity, and reaction temperature. These parameters could be optimized to give each of the three cyano compounds as the major product. Mechanisms (iii) and (iv) (Section 1.5.1.3 and 1.5.1.4) account for the formation of 296-298 (Scheme 88). 

Table 16 shows the influence of reaction conditions and of activation reagents such as TMSC1, hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA), M-methyl-imidazole (NMI), saccharin and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) on the DS of silyl dextran. For complete silylation, a mixture of 1.8 mol HMDS and 0.2 mol chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSC1) per mol OH groups have to be used. The more reactive TMSC1 reacts in a first step with hydroxyl groups to trimethylsilyl dextran and HC1. Subsequently, the HC1 cleaves HMDS in TMSC1 and NH3 [218]. Complete silylation of dextran could also be carried... 

A solution of 1.82 g of 4-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropyl)-lH-imidazole in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen is treated with 0.5 g of sodium hydride (50% oil dispersion) at 0°C for 30 min and 1.45 ml of trimethylsilyl chloride at 0°C for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is washed with cold 0.5 N sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. 

Togni s synthetic route to a planar chiral (trimethylsilyl group on ferrocene) and central chiral (asymmetric carbon in the NHC-Cp alkyl linker) carbene ligand starts from a central chiral aminomethyl ferrocene (see Figure 5.29) [9]. Lithiation and subsequent reaction with trimethylsilyl chloride introduces planar chirality on ferrocene. Quartemisation of the dimethylamino group with methyl iodide enables reaction with imidazole to the double Fc substituted imidazolium salt which can then be deprotonated to the free carbene with potassium rerf-butylate. 

Strecker reactions are among the most efficient methods of synthesis of a-amino nitriles, useful intermediates in the synthesis of amino acids [73] and nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as thiadiazoles, imidazoles, etc. [74]. Although classical Strecker reactions have some limitations, use of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) as a source of cyano anion provides promising and safer routes to these compounds [73b,75]. TMSCN is, however, readily hydrolyzed in the presence of water, and it is necessary to perform the reactions under strictly anhydrous conditions. BusSnCN [76], on the other hand, is stable in water and a potential source of cyano anion, and it has been found that Strecker-type reactions of aldehydes, amines, and BuaSnCN proceed smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amoimt of Sc(OTf)3 in water [77]. No surfactant was needed in this reaction. The reaction was assumed to proceed via imine formation and successive cyanation (it was confirmed that imine formation was much faster than cyanohydrin ether formation under these reaction conditions) again the dehydration process (imine formation) proceeded smoothly in water. 

Silylation with silyl chlorides or silyl triflates is performed in the presence of auxiliary bases, e.g. pyridine, TEA, imidazole, etc., in solvents such as CH2CI2, CHQ3, DMF, or As milder reagents A-methyl-G-(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and preferably A,C)-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BTMSA, 136) (Scheme 72) are used for such purposes. Since the acetamide that results from this reaction is difficult to remove from the reaction medium, cyanotrimethylsilanet or l-(trimethylsilyl)imidazole (137).t l may be used as alternatives. For quantitative silylation of amino acids containing additional side-chain functionalities, excess silylating agent is required.
