Uses
N,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl)formamide can be used as source of nucleophilic formamide and N-silylaldimine synthon.
N,N-Bis(trimethylsilyl)formamide (BSF) exists in the amide form with both silyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. This is in contrast to most other bis(TMS)amides (e.g., bis(TMS)- acetamide), which favor the N,O-bis(TMS)imidate isomer. BSF behaves as an N-formamido nucleophile, reacting with the carbonyl group of aldehydes and activated ketones to give N-formyl-O-trimethylsilyl-N,O-acetals. Similarly, reaction with imines (or their precursors) can in some cases give N-formylN,N-acetals. BSF undergoes reactions with a range of other electrophiles including acid chlorides, chloroformate esters, and isocyanates to give a range of interesting products. When treated with organolithium nucleophiles, attack occurs at the carbonyl function, to provide N-silylaldimines after elimination of a silyloxy unit. Such imines are reported to undergo further reactions to give heterocycles. There are also reports of BSF acting as a silylating agent, to give silyl enol ethers, although it is not commonly used for this application.
Preparation
chlorotrimethylsilane was added at room
temperature to a solution of formamide and triethylamine in
dry benzene and the mixture was heated at reflux for 1 h. The
reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to
give a crude oil. This was purified by high-vacuum distillation
to afford N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)formamide (BSF) as an oil in
75% yield.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 15500-60-4 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,5,5,0 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 15500-60:
(7*1)+(6*5)+(5*5)+(4*0)+(3*0)+(2*6)+(1*0)=74
74 % 10 = 4
So 15500-60-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

This study describes the use of a silicon(II) complex, namely, the NHC-silyliumylidene cation complex [(IMe)2SiH]I (1, IMe =:C{N(Me)C(Me)}2), to catalyze the chemoselective N-formylation of primary and secondary amines using CO2 and PhSiH3 under mild conditions to afford the corresponding formamides as a sole product (average reaction time: 4.5 h; primary amines, average yield: 95%, average TOF: 8 h?1; secondary amines, average yield: 98%, average TOF: 17 h?1). The activity of 1 and product yields outperform the currently available non-transition-metal catalysts used for this catalysis. Mechanistic studies show that the silicon(II) center in complex 1 catalyzes the C?N bond formation via a different pathway in comparison with non-transition-metal catalysts. It sequentially activates CO2, PhSiH3, and amines, which proceeds via a dihydrogen elimination mechanism, to form formamides, siloxanes, and dihydrogen gas.
