New approach to dichloroindium amides

Abstract

Two different routes are presented for the synthesis of dichloroindium amides. On the one hand we prepared (THF)₃Li(µ-Cl)Cl₂InN(SiMe₃)(Dipp) (1) (Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) by the reaction of indium trichloride with the lithiated aniline, on the other hand Cl₂InNEt₂ (2) by trimethylsilyl chloride elimination. Compound 1 was characterized by X-ray strucural analysis.
