(E)-N-[2-(Benzyliminomethyl)phenyl]-2,6-diisopropylaniline

Abstract

The mol­ecular conformation of the title compound, C26H30N2, is reinforced by an intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond, resulting in an almost planar [mean deviation of 0.023 (2) Å] S(6) ring. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the terminal unsubstituted and substituted aromatic rings are 64.45 (9) and 89.40 (8)°, respectively.

Synthesis and structural determination of zinc complexes based on an anilido-aldimine ligand containing an O-donor pendant arm: zinc alkoxide derivative as an efficient initiator for ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters

“…7b Based on the inspiration of the efficient catalytic systems supported by AA ligands, our current focus has been to develop such ligands with a pendant arm attached via the imine nitrogen and to complex these to aluminium, magnesium and zinc precursors as catalysts for CO 2 /epoxide coupling and ROP of cyclic esters. Recently, a useful synthetic route for the preparation of bi-, tri-or multi-dentate AA was established 8 and the purification method is simple in that the products are readily obtained via only a recrystallization and without any chromatographic technique. Moreover, we have synthesized and characterized several magnesium and zinc complexes derived from N,N,N-tridentate anilido-aldimine (AA) ligands (type I-II, Chart 1).…”

Reactions of (E)-N-[2-(benzyliminomethyl)phenyl]-2,6-diisopropylaniline with diethylzinc: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic studies for ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone

“…In particular, the NN-bidentate AA ligand, (E)-N-[2-(benzyliminomethyl)phenyl]-2,6-diisopropylaniline (AA Bn -H) with benzyl group attached on the imine nitrogen was successfully prepared in our group [6], and no zinc complex of AA Bn ligand has been isolated to date. Herein, we describe the synthesis, crystal structure and ROP catalytic studies of novel zinc derivatives based on a NN-bidentate AA ligand of this kind.…”
