The synthesis of a dichloroalane complex and its reaction with an α-diimine†
Abstract
Reaction of an α-diimine, {MesN![[double bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif) CH}2 (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), with the dichloroalane [AlCl2H(IMes)] (IMes = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) affords an
