Abstract

The potassium aluminyl [K{Al(NON^Dipp)}]₂ ([NON^Dipp]²⁻=[O{SiMe₂NDipp}₂]²⁻, Dipp=2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃) activates ethene towards carbonylation with CO under mild conditions. An isolated bis-aluminacyclopropane compound reacted with CO via carbonylation of an Al−C bond, followed by an intramolecular hydrogen shift to form K₂[Al(NON^Dipp)(μ-CH₂CH=CO-1κ²C^1,3-2κO)Al(NON^Dipp)Et]. Restricting the chemistry to a mono-aluminium system allowed isolation of [Al(NON^Dipp)(CH₂CH₂CO-κ²C^1,3)]⁻, which undergoes thermal isomerisation to form the [Al(NON^Dipp)(CH₂CH=CHO-κ²C,O)]⁻ anion. DFT calculations highlight the stabilising influence of incorporated benzene at multiple steps in the reaction pathways.
