Dimlthylaluminium- (1) and Dimethylgallum-o-methoxyphmyl-1-ethoxide (2) were obtained by reaction of Me3Al and Me3Ga respectively with o-Methoxyphenyl-1-ethanol in n-pentane. Dimethylaluminium- (3) and dimethylgallium-o-methoxyphenyl-2-ethylamide (4) were prepared by treatment of Me2AlCl and Me2GaCl respectively with Lithium-o-methoxyphenyl-2-ethylamide. Trimethylgallium-o-methoxyphenylmethvlamine-Adduct (5) was isolated using reaction of Me3Ga with the corresponding amine. The compounds were characterised by H-1-, C-13- and Al-27 n.m.r. spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 2 and 5 were determined by X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1-4 form brigded dimeric molecules. The bond distances of the central Ga2O2 ring in 2 correspond to those of compounds of similar structure.
