Abstract
t-BuOK-induced reaction of 1-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]-1,2,4-triazole with imines to yield (triazol-1- yl)ethylamines and (triazol-5-yl)methylamines was explored. Also, alkoxide-induced desilylation of 1-[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]azoles in the presence of carbonyl compounds was demonstrated, and (-BuOK and potassium trimethylsilanolate were found to be effective in this reaction.
