The reaction of 1,8‐bis(trimethylsilylamino)naphthalene (LH 2 ) ( 1 ) with n BuLi yields the dilithium compound [1,8‐(Me 3 SiN) 2 C 10 H 6 ](Li) 2 (thf) 3 ( 2 ). Compound 1 reacts with H 3 Al · NMe 3 with elimination of hydrogen gas to produce [1,8‐(Me 3 SiN) 2 C 10 H 6 ]AlH(NMe 3 ) ( 3 ), and the reaction of 2 with MeAlCl 2 leads to [1,8‐(Me 3 SiN) 2 C 10 H 6 ]Al(Me)thf ( 4 ). Compounds 3 and 4 are the first two aluminum mononuclear compounds to contain the 1,8‐diaminonaphthalene ligand. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectroscopy, MS, and single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
