Mixed aggregation of lithium enolates and lithium halides with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP)
摘要:
Li-6 and N-15 NMR spectroscopic studies of [Li-6]-LiTMP and [Li-6,N-15]-LiTMP support an earlier suggestion that LiTMP exists as a dimer-monomer mixture in THF. In the presence of [Li-6]-lithium cyclohexenolate as a representative enolate, one observes mixed aggregates with 2:1, 1:1, and 2:2 LiTMP/enolate stoichiometries. Evidence of conformational isomerism is observed in the slow-exchange limit. Studies of conformationally mobile [Li-6]-lithium di-tert-butylamide and conformationally locked [Li-6]-lithium 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylpiperidide shed further light on the spectroscopic consequences of the chair form of the piperidine ring system. The corresponding studies of LiTMP/LiBr mixtures reveal the predominance of a 1:1 mixed aggregate, a lower propensity to form 2:1 mixed aggregates than the analogous lithium enolate case, and no tendency whatsoever to form 2:2 mixed aggregates. LiTMP/LiCl mixtures appear to contain two conformational isomers of the 2:1 stoichiometry analogous to the LiTMP enolate case as well as a 1:1 mixed aggregate in the limit of high LiCl concentration. Severe spectral overlaps and several unassigned resonances render the LiTMP-LiCl mixed aggregate structure assignments the most tentative.

In recent years, H2 activation at non‐transition‐metal centers has met with increasing attention. Here, a system in which H2 is activated and transferred to aldimines and ketimines using substoichiometric amounts of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is reported. Notably, the reaction tolerates the presence of acidic protons in the α‐position. Mechanistic investigations indicated that the reaction proceeds
