Abstract

The title compound 1 is formed by melting the peralkylated R 2AlCH 2AlR 2 (R = CH(SiMe 3) 2) with the tetrachloro derivative Cl 2AlCH 2AlCl 2 at 125°C. Crystal structure analysis reveals an AlCl bridged dinner with a heteroadamantane structure. Reaction of 1 with neopentyl lithium or trimethylsilylmethyl lithium yields only the dismutation products Al[CH(SiMe 3) 2]R 2 (R = CH 2CMe 3 and CH 2SiMe 3). From the missing methylene bridge oligomeric or polymeric species are formed presumably; these could not be isolated as pure compounds.
