Gallium, chlorodimethyl- → Dimethylaminopropyl(dimethyl)gallium

Participants

Reaction Steps

12 g (89 mmol) of dimethylgallium chloride are made ready for use in 300 ml of pentane and cooled to -78°. 8.3 g (89 mmol) of dimethylaminopropyllithium are added thereto as a solid. The solution is allowed to come to room temperature and is stirred for a further 24 hours. The lithium chloride precipitated is separated off, the solvent is removed and the residue is distilled in vacuo. Dimethylaminopropyl(dimethyl)gallium is obtained as a white solid with a B.p. of 65°/10 mbar.
