Novel heterocycles: a five membered ring incorporating five different elements, formally derived from an inorganic [3 + 2] cycloaddition
Abstract
The novel five-membered heterocycles (tmeda)[graphic omitted]Me2(2a: X = Me, 2b: X = Cl; tmeda = tetramethylethylenediamine), incorporating lithium chloride as a ring forming entity, are obtained from a formal 1,3 dipolar addition of (tmeda)Li[(Me2P)C(SiMe3)2] to an Al–Cl bond of X2AlCl, as shown by an X-ray structure determination of 2a.
