Abstract

Treatment of N,N′-di-tert-butylethylenediamine with two equivalents of H3AlNMe3 in diethyl ether affords a novel alane-rich amido species [(H2Al)2{μ-N(But)CH 2}2] 1, whereas with one equivalent a stable, intramolecularly coordinated secondary amine adduct of aluminium dihydride results, [H2Al{N(H)(But)CH2CH 2NBut] 2; the monochloro analogue [Cl(H)Al{N(H)(Bu t)CH2CH2NBut] 3 is accessible using ClH2AlNMe3, as a mixture of diastereoisomers in solution.
