Enaminoimines TbtNHC(Me)CHC(Me)NAr (5, Tbt = 2,4,6-[CH(SiMe3)(2)]C6H2) bearing a Tbt group were synthesized by the two steps condensation of acetylacetone with bulky amines. Enaminoimines 5 were treated with n-BuLi to give the corresponding lithium beta-diketiminates, [LiTbtNHC(Me)CHC(Me)NAr}] (1). The X-ray structural analysis of [LiTbtNC(Me)CHC(Me)NMes}] (1c, Mes = mesityl) revealed that it is a monomeric, solvent-free lithium beta-diketiminate. The equilibrium between free 1c plus THF and THF-coordinated (1c - thf) was investigated in detail by the determination of the association constant (K-a) in C6D6 at 293 K and the Job's plot. The heavier alkali metal complexes, sodium and potassium beta-diketiminates (6c-9c), were prepared by the two routes. THF-coordinated [MTbtNC(Me)CHC(Me)NMes}(thf)] (6c: M = Na. 7c: M = K) were prepared by the reaction of 5c (Ar = Mes) with MH (M = Na, K). Solvent-free [MTbtNC(Me)CHC(Me)NMes}] (8c: M = Na. 9c: M = K) were prepared by the reaction of 1c with t-BuOM (M = Na, K). (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
