Abstract
One- and two-dimensional Li-6 and N-15 NMR spectroscopic studies of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) solvated by substoichiometric concentrations of oxe tane, THF, Et2O, and diisopropylamine are described. Partially solvated dim ers and trimers are identified. Possible benefits of carrying out organolit hium chemistry at low ligand concentrations are discussed.
