Abstract

Lithium N,N,N′-trimethylethylenediamide, LiN-(Me)(CH₂)₂NMe₂, reacts with o-anisaldehyde, o-MeOC₆H₄CHO, to afford a chiral α-amino lithium alkoxide 1, which in the solid state is a racemic tetramer with an 'open' pseudo-cubane core; the extent to which the N,N,N′-trimethylethylenediamido moieties internally solvate the Li centres varies with the chirality of the protected aldehyde groups.
