Abstract: | Lithium 8‐amidoquinoline ( 1 ) and lithium 8‐(trialkylsilylamido)quinoline SiMe2tBu ( 2 ), SiiPr3 ( 3 )] react with dimethylgallium chloride to the metathesis products dimethylgallium 8‐amidoquinoline ( 4 ) as well as dimethylgallium 8‐(trialkylsilylamido)quinoline SiMe2tBu ( 5 ), SiiPr3 ( 6 )]. The gallium atoms are in distorted tetrahedral environments. During the synthesis of 5 , orange dimethylgallium 2‐butyl‐8‐(tert‐butyldimethylsilylamido)quinoline ( 7 ) was found as by‐product. The metathesis reactions of Me2GaCl with LiN(R)CH2Py (Py = 2‐pyridyl) yield the corresponding 2‐pyridylmethylamides Me2Ga‐N(H)CH2Py ( 8 ), Me2Ga‐N(SiMe2tBu)CH2Py ( 9 ) and Me2Ga‐N(SiiPr3)CH2Py ( 10 ). In these complexes the gallium atoms show a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. However, derivative 8 crystallizes dimeric with bridging amido units whereas in 9 and 10 the 2‐pyridylmethylamido moieties act as bidentate ligands leading to monomeric molecules. |
