Lithium and potassium aminoalkoxides

The structures of the Group 1 metal aminoalkoxides Li[OCH(CH2CNMe2)2] (1) and K[OCH(CH2CNMe2)2]∙HOCH(CH2CNMe2)2 (2) have been determined. 1 is a hexa­meric drum in which two Li3O3 rings are joined co-facially, whereas 2 is tetrameric and adopts a K4O4 ladder structure, novel for homoleptic potassium...
