N-[2-(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)phenylmethyl]-N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amine → N-[2-(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)phenylmethyl]-N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amine titanium bis(dimethylamide)

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[2-(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)phenylmethyl]-N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amine (4.0 mmol) in toluene (18.4 mL) was added dropwise a solution of tetrakis(dimethylamino)titanium (4.0 mmol) in toluene (12.2 mL) at −78° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr and then at 100° C. for 5 hrs to give a red solution. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to synthesize N-[2-(2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)phenylmethyl]-N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amine titanium bis(dimethylamide) (2.08 g, yield 100%) as a red solid.
