under N2 at -78C when adding Li for about 20 mins then bring to room temp...would have to be ahydrous
NH2-CH3
C6H5-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3
+ (CH3)-C-Li ===>
NH(t-butyl-Li)CH3
C6H5-CH(t-butyl-Li)-CH2CH3
+ Cl-TMS ==>
NH(Si(CH3)3)CH3
C6H5-CH(Si(CH3)3)CH2CH3
+ sat KF ==>
??
would tert-butyl-Li swap the OH? ..it should?
The t-butyl-Li will definately attach to the amine and swap with the silane
sat KF will rip of the silanes
any think this would work?
