Lithium diamidodihydridoaluminates: bimetallic cooperativity in catalytic hydroboration and metallation applications†‡
Abstract
Cooperativity between the Li and Al centres is implicated in catalytic hydroboration reactions of aldehydes and ketones with pinacolborane via heteroleptic lithium diamidodihydridoaluminates. In addition to implementing hydroalumination, these versatile heteroleptic ates can also perform as amido bases as illustrated with an acidic triazole.
