Multiple deprotonation of primary aromatic diamines by LiAlH 4
Reaction of LiAlH 4 with 1,2-phenylenediamine ( 1 H 4 ) in THF results in formation of the metallocyclic amido-/imido complex [{Al( 1 H 2 )} 2 {Al( 1 H) 2 } 2 ][Li(THF) 2 ] 4 ( 3 ), while in the presence of various Lewis base ligands 1,8-diaminonaphthalene ( 2 H 4 ) gives the amido-(‘ate’) complexes...
