Abstract

The compound 2-PhOC6H4NHNa·NMe[(CH2) 2NMe2]2has been synthesised by a 1:1 reaction of sodium hydride with 2-phenoxyaniline in toluene in the presence of N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylene-triamine (pmdien); X-ray crystallography revealed a solid-state structure comprising a near-symmetrical Na2N2 ring dimer with each sodium cation chelated by a tridentate pmdien ligand in an unprecedented near-planar conformation.
