Abstract : In the presenceof lithiumperchloratein diethylether, three-componentreactionbetween aldehydes, hexarnethyh-lisilazane,and silylated nucleophiles proceeded smoothly to afford trirnethylsilylatedprimaryarnirresin goodyields, @ 1997Elsevier Science Ltd.
Recently,we reported the lithiumperchloratemediatedone pot three-componentaminosilylationof aldehydes,1, with (trimethylsilyl)dialkylamines,2, and organosiliconnucleophiles,for the preparationof dialkyl-y-trimethylsilyl-fLynamines, 4, and dialkyl-fWimethy lsilyl-amines, RICHO

Aldehyde,1, reacts with sodiumor lithium hexamethyldisilazane in the presenceof 5 M solutionof lithium perchlorate in diethyl ether, at r.t. to produce imine, 6, in situ, in about 30 min. Reaction of lithium (trimethylsilyl)acetylide or trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloridein diethylether with 6 at r.t, affordedthe correspondingy-trimethylsilyl-~-ynamines, 7, and ~-trimethykilyl-amines, 8, respectively,Scheme 2.

The structureand the yieldsof the silylatedproductsare shownin Table 1. Whenthe reactionwas carried out withoutusing 5 M LiC104diethylethersolution,products7 and 8 were producedinverylow yields. Experimental
LiC104(Fluka)was driedat 160‘C and 10-1Torr for 48 h. Caution: Althoughwe did not haveanyaccidentinusingLiC104,the authorsadviseto dry lithiumperchlorate

General Pracedurefor the Preparation of ytrimethylsi!yl-~ynamines or @-imethylsilyl-amines: Hexamethyldisilazane (3.3 mmol,0.54g)was placedin two-neckedflaskfittedwitha condenser,and a stirring bar under argo~ and 3.5 mmolof sodiumhydride(60-65%,after washingwith lightpet. ether) or 3.4 mmol of methyllithiumin dry diethylether was add~ andthe mixture was stirred for for about 5 min.Then3 d, solutionof 5 M lithiumperchloratein diethylether and 2 mmolof aldehydewere added via syringe. After stirringfor 30 min.,lithium(trimethylsilyl)acetylide or trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride(4 mmol)was added, and the mixturewas stirredfor additional30 min. Water (10 rnL)was added, and the product was extracted with ether ( 2x 10).The organiclayerwas separatedand extractedwith cold 0.5 M HC1solution. Neutralizationwith 2.0 M solutionof KOH, gave the desired product. Further purificationwas done by preparativegas chromatographyif needed. All products describedhad structures in accordancewith their spectroscopicdata. Table 1 Entqi
