An ionic liquid as reaction medium for the synthesis of halo-containing β-enaminones at room temperature

A series of twenty halomethylated β-enaminones [RC(O)CH=C(R ¹)NR ³ R ⁴, where R = CF₃,CCl₃, CHCl₂; R ¹ = H, Me, Ph; R ³ = H, Me, Bu, Et; R ⁴ = Me, Et, Bu, allyl, tert-amyl, CH₂CH₂OH, Bn, Ph] were synthesized using the ionic liquid [bmim]BF₄ at room temperature. It is demonstrated that this ionic liquid is a reaction medium suitable for the amination of β-alkoxyvinyl halomethyl ketones. The advantages of this method are the absence of solvents, short reaction times, and good yields. Correspondence: Marcos A. P.

An efficient synthesis of 1-cyanoacetyl-5-halomethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles in ionic liquid

The synthesis of eleven 1-cyanoacetyl-5-hydroxy-5-halomethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles from the reaction of 4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones f(R ³C(O)C(R ²) = C(R ¹)OR, where R ³ = CF₃, CCl₃, CHCl₂, CO₂ Et; R ²/R ¹ = H/H, H/Me, H/Et, -(CH₂)₄-, Me/H, H/Pr, and R = Me, Et) with cyanoacetohydrazide is reported. The reaction was carried out in the ionic liquid ([bmim][BF₄]) and molecular solvents. The results showed that when the ionic liquid was used as reaction medium, the reaction time was drastically decreased and the yield was improved.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 5-trihalomethyl-3-arylisoxazoles

A series of twelve 5-trihalomethyl-3-arylisoxazoles was synthesized and screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterisation of some Pentacarbonyltungsten(0) Complexes with Mono‐ and Bicyclic Phosphirane Ligands: Crystal Structure of [{(Me₃Si)₂HCPC(H)H–C(H)Ph}W(CO)₅] The tungsten(0) complex [{(Me₃Si)₂HCPC(Ph)=N}W(CO)₅] ( 1 ) reacts upon heating with alkene derivatives 2 , 6 , 8 , and 10 in toluene to form benzonitrile and the complexes [{(Me₃Si)₂HCPC(R¹,R²)–C(R³,R⁴}W(CO)₅] ( 4 , 7 a , b , 9 a , b , 11 a , b ) ( 4 (trans): R¹,R³ = Ph, R²,R⁴ = H, 7 a , b (cis, meso and rac): R¹,R³ = Ph, R²,R⁴ = H, 9 a , b (RR und SS): R¹ = Ph, R²,R³,R⁴ = H, 11 a , b : R¹=R³ = (CH₂)₄, R²,R⁴ = H). Spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data are discussed. The structure of the complex 9 a was determined by X‐ray single crystal structure analysis showing characteristic data for the phosphirane ring such as a narrow angle at phosphorus (49,2(2)°), different P–C distances (P–C(6) 182,1(5) and P–C(7) 185,2(4) pm) and 152,9(6) pm for the basal C–C bond.     

The Reaction of Transient 1,1‐Bis(trimethylsilyl)silenes with Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyllithium – Synthesis and Structure of Sterically Congested 1‐Trimethylsilylalkylpolysilanes

Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyllithium ( 3 ) reacted with aldehydes and ketones (molar ratio 2 : 1) according to a modified Peterson mechanism under formation of transient silenes, which were immediately trapped by excess 3 to give the organolithium derivatives (Me₃Si)₃SiSi(SiMe₃)₂C(Li)R¹R² ( 7 ). Hydrolysis of 7 afforded the alkylpolysilanes (Me₃Si)₃SiSi(SiMe₃)₂CHR¹R² ( 8 ). Depending on the substituents R¹ and R², 7 proved to be rather unstable in THF solution and underwent a rapid rearrangement, involving a 1,3‐Si,C‐trimethylsilyl migration, resulting in the formation of the lithium silanides (Me₃Si)₂Si(Li)Si(SiMe₃)₂C(SiMe₃)R¹R² ( 9 ), which were hydrolized during the aqueous workup to give the H‐silanes (Me₃Si)₂Si(H)Si(SiMe₃)₂C(SiMe₃)R¹R² ( 10 ). Reaction of 9 with chlorotrimethylsilane produced the 1‐trimethylsilylalkylpolysilanes (Me₃Si)₃SiSi(SiMe₃)₂C(SiMe₃)R¹R² ( 11 ). The structures of the products described were elucidated by comprehensive spectral analyses. The results of X‐ray crystal structure analyses, performed for 8 l (R¹ = H, R² = 2,4,6‐(MeO)₃C₆H₂), 10 d (R¹ = H, R² = Mes) and 11 d (R¹ = H, R² = Mes) are discussed and confirm the expected extreme sterical congestion of the molecules.

The compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ²⁷Al NMR and mass spectra as well as 1 and 3 to 6 by determination of their crystal and molecular structures. The dynamic dissociation/association behavior of the coordinative metal‐nitrogen bond was studied by low temperature ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

REACTIONS OF A PHOSPHORANIMINE ANION WITH SOME ORGANIC ELECTROPHILES

Abstract

The reactions of a variety of electrophiles with the N-silyl-P-trifluoroethoxyphosphoranimine anion Me₃Sin°P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH^? ₂ (1a), prepared by the deprotonation of the dimethyl precursor Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(OCH₂CF₃)Me₂ (1) with n-BuLi in Et₂O at-78°C, were studied. Thus, treatment of 1a with alkyl halides, ethyl chloroformate, or bromine afforded the new N-silylphosphoranimine derivatives Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂R [2: R = Me, 3: R = CH₂Ph, 4: R = CH[sbnd]CH₂, 5: R = C(O)OEt, and 6: R = Br]. In another series, when 1a was allowed to react with various carbonyl compounds, 1,2-addition of the anion to the carbonyl group was observed. Quenching with Me₃SiCl gave the O-silylated products Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂°C(OSiMe₃)R¹R² [7: R ¹ = R ² = Me; 8: R ¹ = Me, R ² = Ph; 9: R¹ = Me, R ² = CH[sbnd]CH₂; and 10: R ¹ = H, R ² = Ph]. Compounds 2–10 were obtained as distillable, thermally stable liquids and were characterized by NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) and elemental analysis.     

Die ersten Röntgenstrukturen kationischer Diorganylzinn(IV)‐Dichelate [R2Sn(L–L)2]2⊕ mit zweizähnigen Phosphanoxid‐Liganden: Di(methansulfonyl)amid als nichtkoordinierendes Gegenion

Polysulfonylamines. CXI. The First X‐Ray Structures of Cationic Diorganyltin(IV) Dichelates [R₂Sn(L–L)₂]^2⊕ Involving Bidentate Phosphine Oxide Ligands: Di(methanesulfonyl)amide as a Non‐Coordinating Counter‐Ion The reaction of Me₂Sn(A)₂, where A^⊖ = (MeSO₂)₂N^⊖, with DPPOE = ethane‐1,2‐diylbis(diphenylphosphine oxide) or CDPPOET = cis‐ethene‐1,2‐diylbis(diphenylphosphine oxide) yields the ionic dichelates [Me₂Sn(dppoe)₂]^2⊕ · 2 A^⊖ ( 1 ; monoclinic, space group P2₁/c) and [Me₂Sn(cdppoet)₂]^2⊕ · 2 A^⊖ ( 2 ; monoclinic, P2₁/n). A solvated variety of 2 , [Me₂Sn(cdppoet)₂]^2⊕ · 2 A^⊖ · Et₂O · 0.15 MeCN ( 4 ; triclinic, P 1), was serendipitously obtained by thermal degradation of the new compound [Me₂Sn(A)(μ‐OH)]₂ · 2 CDPPOET in an MeCN/Et₂O medium. The crystals of 1 , 2 and 4 consist of discrete formula units (one independent unit for 1 and 2 , two independent units for 4 ); in the structure of 4 , the solvent molecules are located in lattice cavities. All the tin atoms lie on crystallographic inversion centres and display moderately distorted octahedral C₂O₄ coordinations with short Sn–O bonds in the range 218–223 pm. Within the formula units, the anions are connected to the P–CH donor groups of the chelating ligands by C–H…O/N interactions, some of which are remarkably short (e.g. in 1 : H…O 220 pm, C–H…O 170°; H…N 242 pm, C–H…N 153°).     

Silylium dual catalysis in living polymerization of methacrylates via In situ hydrosilylation of monomer

Silylium ions (“R₃Si⁺”) are found to catalyze both 1,4‐hydrosilylation of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with R₃SiH to generate the silyl ketene acetal initiator in situ and subsequent living polymerization of MMA. The living characteristics of the MMA polymerization initiated by R₃SiH (Et₃SiH or Me₂PhSiH) and catalyzed by [Et₃Si(L)]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]^– (L = toluene), which have been revealed by four sets of experiments, enabled the synthesis of the polymers with well‐controlled M_n values (identical or nearly identical to the calculated ones), narrow molecular weight distributions (? = 1.05–1.09), and well defined chain structures {H? [MMA]_n? H}. The polymerization is highly efficient too, with quantitative or near quantitative initiation efficiencies (I* = 96–100%). Monitoring of the reaction of MMA + Me₂PhSiH + [Et₃Si(L)]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]^– (0.5 mol%) by ¹H NMR provided clear evidence for in situ generation of the corresponding SKA, Me₂C?C(OMe)OSiMe₂Ph, via the proposed “Et₃Si^+”‐catalyzed 1,4‐hydrosilylation of monomer through “frustrated Lewis pair” type activation of the hydrosilane in the form of the isolable silylium‐silane complex, [Et₃Si? H? SiR₃]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]^–. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2015 , 53, 1895–1903     

Synthesis and Characterization of β‐Diketiminate Zinc Complexes

The monomeric β‐diketiminate zinc complex (Mes)NacNacZnMe 1 (MesNacNac = {[2,6‐(2,4,6‐Me₃‐C₆H₂)N(Me)C)]₂CH}) was obtained in almost quantitative yield from the reaction of ZnMe₂ with (Mes)NacNacH. Reaction of 1 with either Me₃NHCl or a solution of HCl in Et₂O yielded (Mes)NacNacZnCl 2 , whereas (Mes)NacNacZnI 3 was obtained from the reaction of 1 with I₂. 1 – 3 were characterized by elemental analyses, mass and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C{¹H}) NMR spectroscopy, 3·THF also by single crystal X‐ray analysis.     

Polymerization of acrylonitrile by catalytic systems consisting of triphenylphosphine and a lewis acid

Polymerization of acrylonitrile in the presence of systems that consisted of triphenylphosphine (PPh₃) and a Lewis acid R_mMX_n (ZnCl₂, Me₃Al, Et₃Al, Et₂AlCl, EtAlCl₂, AlCl₃) was studied. The systems that contained Me₃Al and Et₃Al (i.e., Lewis acid of moderate acidity) were the most efficient catalysts. Conductometric measurements carried out in the polymerization systems showed the presence of ions. The presence of phosphonium cation in the polyacrylonitrile chain formed by the PPh₃–R_mMX_n catalytic systems was determined by IR, ¹H-NMR, and ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. The average molecular weight measurements and kinetic chain lengths of polyacrylonitrile formed within the reaction time in the presence of PPh₃–Et₃Al showed that transfer reactions occur. According to the results obtained, the polymerization reaction of acrylonitrile by PPh₃–R_mMX_n involved a zwitterion formed by the attack of PPh₃ on acrylonitrile complexed by Lewis acid [Ph₃P^⊕? CH₂? C^?H? C?N → MR_mX_n] and the anion [CH₂?C^?? C?N] formed by the proton abstraction from the monomer.     

Modification of Yttrium Silyl-Bridged Amide Alkyl Complexes through Si−H/C−H Cross-Dehydrocoupling of Silanes with a Silylamino Ligand: Synthesis,Reactivity, and Mechanism

A new method for the modification of a silylamino ligand has been developed through mono and dual C(sp³)−H/Si−H cross-dehydrocoupling with silanes. The reaction of [LY{η²-(C,N)-CH₂Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}] (L=bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-β-diketiminato, L′ ( 1^L ′); L=tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, Tp^Me2 ( 1^TpMe2 )) with 2 equivalents of PhSiH₃ in toluene gave the complexes [LY{η²-(C,N)-C(SiH₂Ph)₂Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}] (L=L′ ( 2^L’ ); L=Tp^Me2 ( 2^TpMe2 )). Moreover, 1^TpMe2 reacted with the secondary silanes Ph₂SiH₂ and Et₂SiH₂ to afford the corresponding mono C−H activation products [Tp^Me2Y{η²-(C,N)-CH(SiHR₂)Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}] (R=Ph ( 4 b ); R=Et ( 4 c )). The equimolar reaction of 1^TpMe2 with PhSiH₃ also produced the mono C−H activation product 4 a ([Tp^Me2Y{η²-(C,N)-CH(SiH₂Ph)Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}(thf)]). A study of their reactivity showed that 4 a facilely reacted with 2 equivalents of benzothiazole by an unusual 1,1-addition of the C=N bond of the benzothiazolyl unit to the Si−H bond to give the C−H/Si−H cross-dehydrocoupling product [(Tp^Me2)Y{η³-(N,N,N)-N(SiMe₃)SiMe₂CH₂Si(Ph)(CSC₆H₄N)(CHSC₆H₄N)}] ( 5 ). These results indicate that this modification endows the silylamino ligand with novel reactivity.     

Use of Neodymium Diiodide in the Synthesis of Organosilicon, ‐Germanium and ‐Tin Compounds

The reactivity of neodymium diiodide, NdI₂ ( 1 ), towards organosilicon, ‐germanium and ‐tin halides has been investigated. Compound 1 readily reacts with Me₃SiCl in DME to give trimethylsilane (6 %), hexamethyldisilane (4 %) and (Me₃Si)₂O (19 %). The reaction with Et₃SiBr in THF results in formation of Et₃SiSiEt₃ (17 %) and Et₃SiOBuⁿ (34 %). Alkylation of Me₃SiCl with PrⁿCl in the presence of 1 in THF affords Me₃SiPrⁿ (10 %), Me₃SiOBuⁿ (52 %) and Me₃SiSiMe₃ (1 %). The main product identified in the reaction mixture formed upon interaction of 1 with dichlorodimethylsilane Me₂SiCl₂ in THF is di‐n‐butoxydimethylsilane Me₂Si(OBuⁿ)₂ (54 %) together with minor amounts of Me₂Si(OBuⁿ)Cl. The reaction of 1 with Me₃GeBr under the same conditions produces Me₃GeGeMe₃ (44 %), Me₃GeH (3 %), and Me₃GeI (7 %). An analogous set of products was obtained in the reaction with Et₃GeBr. Treatment of trimethyltin chloride with 1 causes reduction of the former to tin metal (74 %). Me₃SnH (7 %) and hexamethyldistannane (11 %) were identified in the volatile products. The reaction of 1 with Me₃SiI provides straightforward access to hepta‐coordinated NdI₃(THF)₄ ( 2 ), the structure of which was determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Reactions of Organic Azides with Half‐sandwich Complexes of Iridium: Preparation of Mono‐ and Bis(imine) Derivatives

Imine complexes [IrCl(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){κ¹‐NH=C(H)Ar}{P(OR)₃}]BPh₄ ( 1 , 2 ) (Ar = C₆H₅, 4‐CH₃C₆H₄; R = Me, Et) were prepared by allowing chloro complexes [IrCl₂(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){P(OR)₃}] to react with benzyl azides ArCH₂N₃. Bis(imine) complexes [Ir(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){κ¹‐NH=C(H)Ar}₂{P(OR)₃}](BPh₄)₂ ( 3 , 4 ) were also prepared by reacting [IrCl₂(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){P(OR)₃}] first with AgOTf and then with benzyl azide. Depending on the experimental conditions, treatment of the dinuclear complex [IrCl₂(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)]₂ with benzyl azide yielded mono‐ [IrCl₂(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){κ¹‐NH=C(H)Ar}] ( 5 ) and bis‐[IrCl(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){κ¹‐NH=C(H)Ar}₂]BPh₄ ( 6 ) imine derivatives. In contrast, treatment of chloro complexes [IrCl₂(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){P(OR)₃}] with phenyl azide C₆H₅N₃ gave amine derivatives [IrCl(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(C₆H₅NH₂){P(OR)₃}]BPh₄ ( 7 , 8 ). The complexes were characterized spectroscopically (IR, NMR) and by X‐ray crystal structure determination of [IrCl(η⁵‐C₅Me₅){κ¹‐NH=C(H)C₆H₄‐4‐CH₃}{P(OEt)₃}]BPh₄ ( 2b ).

Darstellung,Charakterisierung und Reaktionsverhalten von Natrium‐ und Kaliumhydridosilylamiden R2(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Na,K) — Kristallstruktur von [(Me3C)2(H)Si—N(K)SiMe3]2·THF

Preparation, Characterization and Reaction Behaviour of Sodium and Potassium Hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Na, K) — Crystal Structure of [(Me₃C)₂(H)Si—N(K)SiMe₃]₂ · THF The alkali metal hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ 1a‐Na — 1d—Na and 1a‐K — 1d‐K ( a : R = Me, R′ = CMe₃; b : R = Me, R′ = SiMe₃; c : R = Me, R′ = Si(H)Me₂; d : R = CMe₃, R′= SiMe₃) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding hydridosilylamines 1a — 1d with alkali metal M (M = Na, K) in presence of styrene or with alkali metal hydrides MH (M = Na, K). With NaNH₂ in toluene Me₂(H)Si—NHCMe₃ ( 1a ) reacted not under metalation but under nucleophilic substitution of the H(Si) atom to give Me₂(NaNH)Si—NHCMe₃ ( 5 ). In the reaction of Me₂(H)Si—NHSiMe₃ ( 1b ) with NaNH₂ intoluene a mixture of Me₂(NaNH)Si—NHSiMe₃ and Me₂(H)Si—N(Na)SiMe₃ ( 1b‐Na ) was obtained. The hydridosilylamides have been characterized spectroscopically. The spectroscopic data of these amides and of the corresponding lithium derivatives are discussed. The ²⁹Si‐NMR‐chemical shifts and the ²⁹Si—¹H coupling constants of homologous alkali metal hydridosilylamides R₂(H)Si—N(M)R′ (M = Li, Na, K) are depending on the alkali metal. With increasing of the ionic character of the M—N bond M = K > Na > Li the ²⁹Si‐NMR‐signals are shifted upfield and the ²⁹Si—¹H coupling constants except for compounds (Me₃C)(H)Si—N(M)SiMe₃ are decreased. The reaction behaviour of the amides 1a‐Na — 1c‐Na and 1a‐K — 1c‐K was investigated toward chlorotrimethylsilane in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and in n‐pentane. In THF the amides produced just like the analogous lithium amides the corresponding N‐silylation products Me₂(H)Si—N(SiMe₃)R′ ( 2a — 2c ) in high yields. The reaction of the sodium amides with chlorotrimethylsilane in nonpolar solvent n‐pentane produced from 1a‐Na the cyclodisilazane [Me₂Si—NCMe₃]₂ ( 8a ), from 1b‐Na and 1‐Na mixtures of cyclodisilazane [Me₂Si—NR′]₂ ( 8b , 8c ) and N‐silylation product 2b , 2c . In contrast to 1b‐Na and 1c‐Na and to the analogous lithium amides the reaction of 1b‐K and 1c‐K with chlorotrimethylsilane afforded the N‐silylation products Me₂(H)Si—N(SiMe₃)R′ ( 2b , 2c ) in high yields. The amide [(Me₃C)₂(H)Si—N(K)SiMe₃]₂·THF ( 9 ) crystallizes in the space group C2/c with Z = 4. The central part of the molecule is a planar four‐membered K₂N₂ ring. One potassium atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and the other one by two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Furthermore K···H(Si) and K···CH₃ contacts exist in 9 . The K—N distances in the K₂N₂ ring differ marginally.

Zur Reaktivität der Ferriophosphaalkene [(η5‐C5Me5)(CO)2FeP=C(NR)R2] (NR = NMe2, NC5H10, R2 = Ph,tBu) gegenüber Protonsäuren,Alkylierungsmitteln und [{(Z)‐Cycloocten}Cr(CO)5]

Transition Metal‐substituted Phosphaalkenes. 42 Reactivity of the Ferriophosphaalkenes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP=C(NR )R²] (NR = NMe₂, NC₅H₁₀, R² = Ph, t Bu) towards Protic Acids, Alkylation Reagents, and [{( Z )‐Cyclooctene}Cr(CO)₅] The reaction of equimolar amounts of [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP=C(NR )R²] ( 2 a : NR = NMe₂, R² = Ph; 2 b : NMe₂. tBu; 2 c : NC₅H₁₀, Ph) and etherial HBF₄ gave rise to the formation of [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(H)C(NR )R²] (BF₄) ( 3 a – c ) which were isolated as light red powders. Compounds 2 a – c were converted into [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(Me)C(NR )R²] (SO₃CF₃) ( 4 a – c ) by treatment with methyl trifluoromethane sulfonate. In addition 2 a and Me₃SiCH₂OSO₂CF₃ afforded light red [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(CH₂SiMe₃)C(NMe₂)Ph](SO₃CF₃) ( 5 ). The black complex [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP{Cr(CO)₅}C(NMe₂)Ph] ( 6 ) resulted from the combination of 2 a with [{(Z)‐cyclooctene}Cr(CO)₅]. The novel products were characterized by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐ und ³¹P‐NMR).     

Lithiumhydridosilylamide R2(H)SiN(Li)R′ – Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Kristallstrukturen

Lithium Hydridosilylamides R₂(H)SiN(Li)R′ – Preparation, Properties, and Crystal Structures The hydridosilylamines R₂(H)SiNHR′ ( 1 a : R = CHMe₂, R′ = SiMe₃; 1 b : R = Ph, R′ = SiMe₃; 1 c : R = CMe₃, R′ = SiMe₃; 1 d : R = R′ = CMe₃) were prepared by coammonolysis of chlorosilanes R₂(H)SiCl with Me₃SiCl ( 1 a , 1 b ) as well as by reaction of (Me₃C)₂(H)SiNHLi with Me₃SiCl ( 1 c ) and Me₃CNHLi with (Me₃C)₂(H)SiCl ( 1 d ). Treatment of 1 a–1 d with n-butyllithium in equimolar ratio in n-hexane resulted in the corresponding lithiumhydridosilylamides R₂(H)SiN(Li)R′ 2 a–2 d , stable in boiling m-xylene. The amines and amides were characterized spectroscopically, and the crystal structures of 2 b–2 d were determined. The comparison of the Si–H stretching vibrations and ²⁹Si–¹H coupling constants indicates that the hydrogen atom of the Si–H group in the amides has a high hydride character. The amides are dimeric in the solid state, forming a planar four-membered Li₂N₂ ring. Strong (Si)H … Li interactions exist in 2 c and 2 d , may be considered as quasi tricyclic dimers. The ‘‘NSiHLi rings”︁”︁ are located on the same side of the central Li₂N₂ ring. In 2 b significant interactions occurs between one lithium atom and the phenyl substituents. Furthermore all three amides show CH₃ … Li contacts.
