HMPA-Free Generation of Trialkylsilyllithium Reagents and Its Applications to the Synthesis of Silylboronic Esters

Abstract

Trialkylsilyllithium species have turned out to be facilely generated by treating hexaalkyldisilanes with methyllithium in the presence of tris(N,N-tetramethylene)phosphoric triamide (TPPA) as an activator, which can be trapped by boron electrophiles to afford silylboronic esters including long-awaited Me₃Si–B(pin).

Key words

trialkylsilyllithium - hexaalkyldisilane - silylboronic ester - TPPA­ - HMPA

• 7 Carcinogenicity of HMPA is due to hydroxylation at N-methyl groups by cytochrome P450 enzymes with concomitant release of formaldehyde within the nasopharyngeal cells; see ref 6b. Besides, hexaethylphosphoric triamide (HEPA) is reported to be non-carcinogenic; see ref. 8c and Zilstra, J. A.; Proefschrift; Rijks-Universiteit Leiden: The Netherlands, 1987, and references cited therein. Moreover, higher boiling point of TPPA could also contribute to the lower toxicity, as is the case with diHMPA, see ref 8a.
