Intramolekular schwefelstabilisierte Aluminium‐ und Galliumalkyle

Intramolecularly Sulfur stabilized Aluminum and Gallium Alkyl Derivatives The intramolecularly sulfur stabilized organoaluminum and organogallium compounds Me₂Al(CH₂)₃SEt ( 1 ), Me₂Ga(CH₂)₃SEt ( 2 ), MeClAl(CH₂)₃SEt ( 3 ), MeClGa(CH₂)₃SEt ( 4 ), Cl₂Al(CH₂)₃SEt ( 5 ), and Cl₂Ga(CH₂)₃SEt ( 6 ) are synthesized from Me₂MCl, MeMCl₂, and MCl₃ (M = Al, Ga), respectively, and ClMg(CH₂)₃SEt. The reaction of 5 and of 6 with BrMg(CH₂)₅MgBr yields (CH₂)₅Al(CH₂)₃SEt ( 7 ) and (CH₂)₅Ga(CH₂)₃SEt ( 8 ), respectively. AlCl₃ and GaCl₃ react with two as well as three equivalents of ClMg(CH₂)₃SEt forming ClAl(CH₂)₃SEt]₂ ( 9 ) and ClGa(CH₂)₃SEt]₂ ( 10 ) as well as Al(CH₂)₃SEt]₃ ( 11 ) and Ga(CH₂)₃SEt]₃ ( 12 ), respectively. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectroscopy, ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁷Al NMR investigations as well as 6 by single crystal X‐ray structure analysis.
