Formation of Adamantane-Like Structures by Reaction of Titanocene Fluorides with an Iminoalane

Abstract

Fluorine–nitrogen metathesis in the reaction of a cyclic iminoalane with titanocene fluorides results in unexpected cage compounds. Treatment of one of these compounds with diethyl ether leads to 1, which contains a titanium–nitrogen double bond stabilized intramolecularly by fluorine.
