CAS 93102-05-7, Cat. No EN300-54483
Precursor of non-stabilized azomethine ylide

N-Benzyl-N-(methoxymethyl)-N-trimethylsilylmethylamine

N-benzyl-N-(methoxymethyl)-N-trimethylsilylmethylamine is a convenient source of non-stabilized azomethine ylide that plays as a 1,3-dipole for many [3+2] or [3+3] cycloaddition reactions in the construction of functionalized N-heterocycles1,2,3,4. The intermediate forms in metal-free conditions in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid, zinc chloride, or cesium fluoride5. Reactive targets include classical ones - aliphatic aldehydes, aryl isothiocyanates, or activated four- and five-membered alkenes, but also medical-appropriate C,N-cyclic azomethine imines, vinyl sulfonyl fluorides, cyanosulfones, and alkenyl boropinacolates2.

Synonyms: N-benzyl-N-(methoxymethyl)-N-trimethylsilylmethylamine; N-(methoxymethyl)-N-(trimethylsilylmethyl)benzylamine; N-benzyl-1-methoxy-N-((trimethylsilyl)methyl); methenamine benzyl(methoxymethyl)[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]amine; N-(methoxymethyl)-1-phenyl-N-(trimethylsilylmethyl)methenamine
