Bis(N-tert-butylacetamido)(dimethylamido)(chloro)titanium

Abstract

The titanium amidate compound bis(N-tert-butylacetamido)(dimethylamido)(chloro)titanium was synthesized by the protonolysis of tris(dimethylamido)(chloro)titanium and structurally characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. The compound does not appear to react cleanly nor readily with routine alkylating agents such as sec-butyllithium, benzyl potassium, or trimethylsilyl methyllithium.
