A novel, one-step N-dehydrogenation of amides to enamides is reported. This reaction
employs the unlikely combination of LiHMDS and triflic anhydride, which serves as both the …

This article provides a concise summary of alkaline earth metal nitrogen chemistry. This
important area of s-block metal chemistry is shedding important light on the recent …

The β-diketiminate-stabilized calcium amide complex [{ArNC (Me) CHC (Me) NAr} Ca {N
(SiMe3) 2}(THF)](Ar= 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) and magnesium methyl complex [{ArNC (Me) …

This review examines the role that the bis-trimethylsilylamido group,[N {SiMe 3} 2]–, has had
on the development of the chemistry of the group 1 and group 2 (s-block) metals. Key …

Coordinatively saturated ToMMgMe (1; ToM= tris (4, 4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl) phenylborate)
is an active precatalyst for intramolecular hydroamination/cyclization at 50° C. The empirical …

Reaction of Mg (NO3) 2⊙ 6H2O with (+)-camphoric acid (H2cam) in acetonitrile results in
the immediate formation of soluble, dimetallic [Mg2 (Hcam) 3]+ cations. The formation of …

The alkaline‐earth metals Mg and Ca are too inert for the direct metalation of primary and
secondary amines. Consequently, activation prior to use is required. Alternatively, the …

Developing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) chemistry of simple organomagnesium
compounds, this study reports the synthesis, X-ray crystallographic, and NMR spectroscopic …

Two new alkali metal monoalkyl-bisamido magnesiates, the potassium compound [KMg
(TMP) 2nBu] and its sodium congener [NaMg (TMP) 2nBu] have been synthesised in …

Reaction of (dpp‐BIAN) Mg (THF) 3 (1){dpp‐BIAN= 1, 2‐bis [(2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl) imino]
acenaphthene} with one molar equivalent of 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl …
