A Simple Synthesis of Primary Amines via their N,N‐Bis(trimethylsilyl) Derivatives Primary halogen compounds 1 or the corresponding tosylates react with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (2) in hexamethyldisilazine to form N,N‐bis(trimethylsilyl)amines 3, which are converted into the amine hydrochlorides 5 by treatment with aqueous HCl.
