Abstract
Treatment of nitrile 1 with an equimolar amount of DIBAL produces the alane complex: [(1,2,3-(t-Bu)(3)-cyclo-C-3)CH=NAl(i-BU)(2)](2) (3), wh ich reacts sluggishly with protic nucleophiles. The X-ray crystal stru cture of 3 shows unusual geometric distortions in the Al2N2 core and a bout the imine carbon, as well as in the cyclopropene ring, all of whi ch are attributed to the extreme steric bulk of the hydrocarbon ligand s.
