Abstract

Reduction of azo compounds with a system of a trialkylchlorosilane and lithium has been found to afford bis (trialkylsilyl) amines in the presence of a transition metal halide as a catalyst in THF. The reaction course was significantly modified by using t- butyldimethylchlorosilane as a trialkylchlorosilane.
