Reactions between bis(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium LiCHR2 and a nitrile Râ²CN gave lithium 1-azaallyls, β-diketiminates or 1,3-diazaallyls. The products of related processes involving the lithium alkyl LiCH2R, LiCH(R)Ph or [Li(tmen)]2[1,2-C(H)R}2C6H4] have also been obtained (R = SiMe3 and Râ²Â = But, Ph or C6H4Me-4). Analytical and spectroscopic data served to identify the following crystalline compounds: [LiN(R)C(But)C(H)R}(D)]n [D absent and n = 2; D = tmen or dme and n = 1], [LiN(R)C(Ph)C(H)R}(D)]n [D = tmen or pmdien and n = 1, or D = thf and n = 2], [LiN(R)C(Ph)C(H)C(Râ²â²)NR}(D)]n [D absent, n = 2 and Râ²â²Â = Ph (4a), C6H4Me-4 (4b) or But; or D = tmen, (thf)2 (9b), NEt3 or thf and NCPh and n = 1 and Râ²â²Â = Ph], [LiN(R)C(Ph)C(H)C(Ph)NR}(D)Li(CHR2)] [D = OEt2 or thf], [LiN(R)C(Ar)NC(Ph)C(H)R}(D)]n [D = tmen, n = 1 and Ar = Ph or C6H4Me-4; or D = thf, n = 2 and Ar = Ph], [LiN(Ph)C(R)NC(Ph)C(H)R}(tmen)], [LiN(R)C(But)CH2]2, [LiN(R)C(Ph)C(H)Ph}(tmen)], and [Li(tmen)]2[1,2-N(R)C(But)CH}2C6H4]. Each of the three classes of ligands has a diversity of ligating possibilities, functioning towards lithium variously in a terminal or bridging and mono- or bi-dentate fashion, the role of a neutral donor D often being crucial. For an isomeric pair, the lithium β-diketiminate was thermodynamically preferred over the 1,3-diazaallyl. From [LiN(R)C(But)C(H)R}]2 and successively CH2Br2 and LiBun, the further lithium 1-azaallyl compound [LiN(R)C(But)C(H)C(H)(R)Bun}]2 was obtained. From 4a and CH2Br2 or (BrCH2)2 a bis(β-diketiminyl)methane CH2[CC(Ph)NR}C(Ph)N(H)R]2 or 9b or β-diketimine HN(R)C(Ph)C(H)C(Ph)NR were obtained, while 4b with successively KOBut and H2O gave the β-diketimine HN(R)C(C6H4Me-4)C(H)C(C6H4Me-4)NR. Mechanistic pathways are proposed, which involve Me3Si migrations: from C to N or N to N; or, for the latter a 1,2-dyotropic Me3Si/H exchange. The crystal structures of eleven of these compounds have been determined. Each of the new lithium compounds may in principle behave as an N-, C-, (N,Nâ²)-, or (N,C)-centred nucleophile. Reactions demonstrating the first two alternatives for the β-diketiminate [LiN(R)C(Ar)C(H)C(Ar)NR}]2 are (i) those with water (Ar = C6H4Me-4) or (BrCH2)2 (Ar = Ph) which gave the diketimine N(R)C(Ar)C(H)C(Ar)N(H)R, whereas (ii) that with CH2Br2 (Ar = Ph) yielded CH2[CC(Ph)NR}C(Ph)N(H)R]2.
