Synonyms: N-(Adamantan-1-yl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)trisilan-2-amine
Molecular Formula: C19H43NSi4
Molecular Weight: 397.89
Linear Structural Formula: C19H43NSi4
Application: Aminosupersilane has been demonstrated by the MacMillan lab to be a necessary reagent in the dual catalytic nickel/photoredox cross-electrophile coupling of unactivated alkyl chlorides. The increased nucleophilicity of aminosupersilane, as compared to other organosilane reagents, is key to activating the alkyl chloride for chlorine atom abstraction.
