C. Eaborn et al., TRIS[(DIMETHYLAMINO)DIMETHYLSILYL]METHYL)MAGNESIUM IODIDE - A GRIGNARD-REAGENT WITHOUT A CARBON-MAGNESIUM BOND, Organometallics, 16(4), 1997, pp. 503-504
Reaction of (Me(2)NMe(2)Si)(3)CI with Mg gives the Grignard reagent (M
e(2)NMe(2)Si)(3)CMgI, in which all three N atoms are coordinated to Mg
and there is a planar carbanionic center, suggesting the absence of C
... Mg bonding.
