Abstract

The heteroleptic calcium amide [{ArNC(Me)CHC(Me)-NAr}Ca{N(SiMe ₃)₂}(THF)] (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) and the homoleptic heavier alkaline earth amides, [M{N(Si-Me₃)₂} ₂(THF)2] (M = Ca, Sr and Ba) are reported as competent pre-catalysts for the hydroamination of 1,3-carbodiimides. Whilst the reaction scope is currently limited to reactions of aromatic amines with 1,3-dialkylcarbodiimides, in most cases preparations in hydrocarbon solvents proceed rapidly at room temperature with catalyst loadings as low as 0.2 mol-% and the guanidine reaction products crystallize directly from the reaction mixture. Initial studies are consistent with the intermediacy of heavier group-2 guanidinate complexes.
