Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (CAS 4039-32-1, LiHMDS) is a bulky, non-nucleophilic base synthesized via reaction of lithium amide with hexamethyldisilazane. Its molecular formula is C6H18LiN2Si2. High-purity grades are essential for precision organic synthesis.
Strictly anhydrous storage under inert atmosphere required due to moisture sensitivity. PPE mandatory; causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Not approved for direct clinical use as a therapeutic agent.
