Organoaluminum Silylamido Complexes

The reaction between [Et2AlCl] and 1 equiv of HN(SiMe3)2 in CH2Cl2 afforded colorless crystals of [Et2AlCl{NH(SiMe3)2}] (1). In contrast, reaction of [Et2AlCl] with 1 equiv of HN(SiMe2H)2 or HN t Bu(SiMe3) resulted in the isolation of dimers, of the type [EtAlCl{NH(R‘)}]2 (2, R‘ = SiMe2H; 3, R‘ = t...

Description
Summary:The reaction between [Et2AlCl] and 1 equiv of HN(SiMe3)2 in CH2Cl2 afforded colorless crystals of [Et2AlCl{NH(SiMe3)2}] (1). In contrast, reaction of [Et2AlCl] with 1 equiv of HN(SiMe2H)2 or HN t Bu(SiMe3) resulted in the isolation of dimers, of the type [EtAlCl{NH(R‘)}]2 (2, R‘ = SiMe2H; 3, R‘ = t Bu). Reaction of [Et3Al] with 1 equiv of HN(SiMe2H)2 or HN(SiMe3)2 yielded the expected dimeric complexes, [Et2Al{N(SiMe2H)2}]2 (4) and [Et2Al{N(SiMe3)2}]2 (5), via ethane elimination. The related reaction between [MeAlCl2] and HN t Bu(SiMe3) in CH2Cl2 solution resulted in the formation of the 1:1 adduct [MeAlCl2{NH2( t Bu)}] (6). The structures of compounds 1 and 6 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the decomposition of 1 and 6 has been studied by thermal gravimetric analysis.
