Abstract
The reaction of {α,α‘-[2,6-(i-Pr)2PhNC(Me)]2(C5H3N)}with MeLi resulted in a surprising alkylation at the pyridine nitrogen atom. The MeLi unit may be easily extracted by reaction with i-PrBr to re-form the starting ligand, while rapid thermolysis eliminated methane with deprotonation of one of the two methyl groups attached to the imine function.
