Reactions of N,N′,N″-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane with butyllithium reagents

Abstract

Treatment of N,N′,N″-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me3tacn) with a range of alkyllithiums led to metallation of the N-methyl groups and, in the case of tBuLi, to the formation of an unusual μ-tBu complex; the latter undergoes clean transmetallation with toluene to form a Me3tacn complex of benzyllithium.
