| Application: | NaHMDS can be used as a base: • In the synthesis of N-boc-1-amino-1,3-diene derivatives from N-boc-1-amino-4-methoxy-2- • To deprotonate alkyl or aryl ketones to generate enolate derivatives by hydroxylation reaction. • In the enantioselective synthesis of 1,2-amino alcohols by the reaction between various nitroalkanes and aldehydes via nitroaldol reaction promoted by bimetallic heterogeneous catalyst. |
| General description: | Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide solution (NaHMDS) is widely used as a strong base in organic synthesis for deprotonation reactions and base-catalyzed reactions. It is also involved in the generation of enolates, Wittig reagents and carbenes. |
