THE SOLID-STATE STRUCTURES OF ORTHO-LITHIO-BETA-(N,N-DIMETHYLAMINO) ETHOXYBENZENE AND THE CORRESPONDING SODIUM COMPOUND - A NEW-TYPE OF ORGANOLITHIUM TETRAMER AND A FIRST EXAMPLE OF AN ORGANOSODIUM HEXAMER
R. Denbesten et al., THE SOLID-STATE STRUCTURES OF ORTHO-LITHIO-BETA-(N,N-DIMETHYLAMINO) ETHOXYBENZENE AND THE CORRESPONDING SODIUM COMPOUND - A NEW-TYPE OF ORGANOLITHIUM TETRAMER AND A FIRST EXAMPLE OF AN ORGANOSODIUM HEXAMER, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 514(1-2), 1996, pp. 191-196
The crystal structures of ortho-lithio-beta-(N, N-dimethylamino)ethoxy
benzene (2) and the corresponding sodium compound (3) are presented. 2
displays a new type of organolithium tetramer and 3 is the first exam
ple of an organosodium hexamer in the solid state. In benzene and tolu
ene 3 is trimeric.
