Efficient synthesis of α-tertiary α-silylamines from aryl sulfonylimidates via one-pot, sequential C-Si/C-C bond formations.

An efficient and flexible route for the synthesis of α-tertiary (α,α-dibranched) α-silylamines via sequential reactions of sulfonylimidates using readily available phenyldimethylsilyllithium and Grignard reagents is described. The procedure allows successive formation of C-Si/C-C bonds in a single flask.
