2 species. The variable-temperature, multinuclear NMR study of the Me 2 AlH/ P(SiMe 3 ) 3 system indicated adduct formation at -90 °C and subsequent conversion to cyclic oligomeric [Me 2 AlP(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] n [Me 2 AlH] m species at -80 °C that ultimately produced [Me 2 -AlP(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 . The reactivity of Bu i 2 AlH toward P(SiMe 3 ) 3 and HP(SiMe 3 ) 2 is much slower then that of Me 2 AlH. In the Bu i 2 AlH/HP(SiMe 3 ) 2 system, H 2 elimination is favored and [Bu i 2 -AlP(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 and Bu i 2 AlP(SiMe 2 ) 2 ‚Bu i 2 AlP(H)SiMe 3 are formed. An X-ray structure analysis of [Bu i 2 AlP(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 establishes the planarity of the (AlP) 2 core.Recently we reported the reactivity of Me 2 AlH with HP(SiMe 3 ) 2 , 26 wherein the preferred mode of reactivity is HSiMe 3 sas opposed to H 2 selimination. Transpho-
Thermolysis of Me3Al with HN(CH2Ph)2 in toluene solution at 150 °C yields the orthometalated dimer [MeAlN(CH2Ph)-μ-(CH2C6H4)]2 (1) via the stepwise elimination of CH4. The molecular structure of 1 and that of the related aminoalane dimer [Me2AlN(CH2Ph)2]2 (2) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complete 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift assignments for 1 were facilitated by the comparison of 1H NMR 2-D NOESY and X-ray distance data.
Ph) 2 yield ortho-metalated aminoalane dimers as products. These dimers were characterized by elemental analysis, 13 C and 1 H NMR, FT-IR, and single-crystal X-ray determination. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the influence of R on the ease of ortho metalation, structural parameters of the Al 2 N 2 ring, and the nature of the alkyl chain conformations in solution and the solid state.
Me2AlH and Bui
2AlH
were reacted with a series of nine aminoarsines,
Me2AsR (R = NMe2,
NPrn
2, NPri
2,
NBun
2, NBui
2,
NC4H8, NC5H10,
NC6H12, and
N(C2H4)2NMe), in
C6D6 at room
temperature, and the reactions were monitored by 1H and
13C NMR spectroscopy. The
relative rates for initial As−N bond cleavage and final product
formation were dependent
on the steric requirements of the alkyl groups attached to aluminum and
nitrogen in the
starting materials. Overall rates were slower with
Bui
2AlH than with Me2AlH
for a given
aminoarsine. For most of the reactions, the predominant
Al-containing products were the
dimeric aminoalane compounds, [Me2AlR]2
and [Bui
2AlR]2.
Although Al−N bond formation
was the prefered mode of reaction, Al−As bond formation was also
observed when the bulky
Pri and Bui aminoarsine derivatives were used.
The [Bui
2AlR]2
compounds were synthesized
independently by the reaction of Bui
2AlH
and the respective amine or, in the case of
[Bui
2AlNBui
2]2, by the reaction of
Bui
2AlCl and
LiNBui
2. X-ray crystal structures were
determined
for the compounds
[Me2AlNC6H12]2,
[Me2AlN(C2H4)2NMe]2,
[Bui
2AlNMe2]2,
and [Bui
2AlN(C2H4)2NMe]2.
All of the compounds have planar Al2N2
rings with the exception of
[Bui
2AlN(C2H4)2NMe]2,
which displays a puckered Al2N2 ring.
