Abstract
At 60-80 degrees C the title compound methylates a variety of mono- an d diketones. Aromatic aldehydes undergo simple methylation by the reag ent only after initial treatment with an equivalent amount of AlCl3. U pon reaction of Me(2)Al(CH2)(3)NMe(2) with terminal acetylenes the alu minum complex is converted into a carbonyl-alkynylation reagent.
