Abstract

The reactivity of [{SiNDipp}AlK]2, which comprises a formally anionic Al(I) centre, has been examined towards a variety of 1,3-dienic molecules, including 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, cyclooctatetraene, anthracene and tetracene. In each case, the alumanyl derivative experiences oxidative addition across the Al(I) centre to provide the corresponding potassium aluminacyclopentene, aluminacyclopropene or aluminanorbornadiene products of [4 + 1] cycloaddition.
