Abstract

Metallation of 2-Me3Si)2CHC5N (RH) with LiBun in hexane yields RLi·RH, (1), whreas RH with LiBun and tmeda (tetramethylethylenediamine; 1 equiv.) in hexane affords Rli(tmeda), (2); the related 2-(Me3Si)CH2C5H4N (R′H) with LiBun in a hexane–diethyl ether mixture gives [{LiR′(OEt2)}2], (3): compounds (1)–(3), shown by X-ray crystallography to have novel η3-aza-allyl ligand geometries, are regarded as models for the bonding in the products of metallation of systems CH3-C(R″)NR‴.
