Abstract
Abstract A one-step synthesis of an alkali-metal hexamethyldisilazane is provided in which an alkali metal selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium and potassium is reacted with 1,1,1,3,3,3,-hexamethyldisilazane at a reaction temperature above the melting point of the alkali metal without the use of an electron carrier, alkali-metal derivatized reagents, such as alkyl-aryl organometals, alkali-metal amides and alkali-metal hydrides, or a catalyst.
