-lithio-N,N',N'',N''-tetramethyldiethylenetriamine (I-Li) is formed fr
om 2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-2,5,8,11-tetraazadodecane (III) or from ,14,17
-hexamethyl-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaazaoctadecane (IV) with n-BuLi or sec-B
uLi, respectively, its isomer lithio-N,N,N'',N'',-tetramethyldiethylen
e-triamine (II-Li) from tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine (V) with n-BuL
i. IV results from treatment of omethyl-N,N',N'',N''-tetramethyldiethy
lenetriamine (PMDTA-Li) with 1,2-dibromoethane.
