The novel linear-polymeric organolithium compound {(Me2NMe2Si)3CLi}∞
Abstract
The compound (Me2Nme2Si)3CH is readily metallated by MeLi in THF to give the linear-polymeric {(Me2Nme2Si)3Cli}∞, in which two of the N atoms in each planar carbanionic unit (Me2Nme2Si)3C– are attached to one lithium atom and the remaining N atom to another Li atom; each Li shows planar three-coordination.
