Tris(trimethylsilyl)methane is the organosilicon compound with the formula (tms)3CH (where tms = (CH3)3Si). It is a colorless liquid that is highly soluble in hydrocarbon solvents. Reaction of tris(trimethylsilyl)methane with methyl lithium gives tris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium, called trisyllithium. Trisyllithium is useful in Petersen olefination reactions:[1]
- (tms)3CH + CH3Li → (tms)3CLi + CH4
- (tms)3CLi + R2CO → (tms)2C=CR2 + tmsOLi
Trisyllithium is also an effective precursor to bulky ligands. Some tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl derivatives are far more stable than less substituted derivatives. for example (Me
3Si)
3CTeH is a well-behaved tellurol.[2]
