Reaction of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide with bromotoluenes

Isomeric bromotoluenes react with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide through intermediate methylbenzynes, yielding N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)toluidines and rearrangement products, N,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)toluidines. The formation of the latter is a rare example of 1,3-migration of silyl group from nitrogen atom to aromatic carbon atom. The rearrangement is favored by increased solvent polarity and elevated temperature. The observed product ratio can be rationalized by DFT quantum chemical calculations.

Employing first-row transition metals in catalytic two-electron transformations remains a synthetic challenge. In order to overcome the common and often deleterious single-electron reactivity, an electron rich ligand was targeted on cobalt. Herein, we report the Co(i) catalyzed amination of aryl halides with lithium hexamethyldisilazide. This transformation features (PPh3)3CoCl (1) as the catalyst and affords structurally diverse and electronically varied primary arylamines in good chemical yields, with the scope of the reaction featuring arylamines that cannot be synthesized via traditional metal-catalyzed amination routes, including 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester. Stoichiometric reactivity revealed that (PPh3)2CoN(SiMe3)2 (2) is likely generated within the catalytic cycle and could be independently synthesized from the reaction of (PPh3)3CoCl with LiN(SiMe3)2. Catalytic reactivity featuring the Co-amide complex, (PPh3)2CoN(SiMe3)2, showed that it is a competent catalyst, implying that the (PPh3)3CoCl may be serving as a pre-catalyst in the reaction. Both stoichiometric and kinetic studies support the catalytic cycle involving a Co(i) complex. Catalytic reactions featuring Co(ii) complexes resulted in undesired biaryl formation, a product that is not observed under standard catalytic conditions and any productive catalytic reactivity likely arises from an in situ reduction of Co(ii) to Co(i). A Hammett study was carried out to differentiate between a closed-shell or radical mechanism, the results of which are consistent with the proposed closed-shell mechanism. Initial studies indicate that this reactivity may be expanded to other bulky nucleophiles. This journal is
Novel Syntheses of Bis(trialkylsilyl)amines by Reductive Trialkylsilylation of Azo Compounds
Kira, Mitsuo,Nagai, Satoshi,Nishimura, Mitsushi,Sakurai, Hideki
, p. 153 - 156 (2007/10/02)
Reduction of azo compounds with a system of a trialkylchlorosilane and lithium has been found to afford bis(trialkylsilyl)amines in the presence of a transition metal halide as a catalyst in THF.The reaction course was significantly modified by using t-butyldimethylchlorosilane as a trialkylchlorosilane.
