Bis-thiourea complexes of cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc chlorides were used efficiently for rapid and efficient trimethylsilylation of alcohols and phenols with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) in CH3CN. All reactions were carried out at room temperature within immediate-120?min timeframe to afford trimethylsilyl ether derivatives in high to excellent yields. Investigation of the results exhibited that the prepared bis-thiourea metal complexes show the activity as Co(tu)2Cl2> Ni(tu)2Cl2> Cu(tu)2Cl2> Zn(tu)2Cl2 in their silylation reactions.
Clean nitrations: Novel syntheses of nitramines and nitrate esters by nitrodesilylation reactions using dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5)

In this novel nitration method dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in an inert solvent is used as the nitrating agent, thereby removing the need for strong acids as the reaction medium. The N2O5 cleaves heteroatom-silicon bonds, in silylamines and silyl ethers respectively, to yield the desired energetic groupings (nitramines or nitrate esters respectively) without liberation of acids which would occur with conventional substrates (amines or alcohols). These nitrodesilylation reactions proceed cleanly and in good yield, and the scope of the reaction is illustrated by 29 examples, some of which produce high energy compounds, notably plasticisers and an energetic polymer precursor. These reactions are therefore potentially clean nitrations for the manufacture of energetic compounds which will minimise the impact of this activity on the environment in the future.
