Zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide], with CAS number 14760-26-0, is an organozinc compound. It is commonly represented by the formula Zn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow solid, typically handled under inert atmosphere conditions (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its sensitivity to air and moisture. Its primary application is as a versatile reagent in synthetic chemistry. It serves as a powerful base and a source of the bis(trimethylsilyl)amide anion. It is frequently used for the deprotonation of acidic C-H bonds, particularly in the preparation of other organometallic complexes and as a precursor in materials science, such as the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. It also acts as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in various organic transformations, including hydroamination and ring-opening polymerization reactions. This reagent is valued for its steric bulk, provided by the trimethylsilyl groups, which enhances its solubility in organic solvents and modifies its reactivity. Standard safety protocols for pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive materials must be strictly followed during its handling and storage.
