Participants

Reaction Steps

1.4 ml of a solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (3.6 mmol. 2.5M) was slowly added at room temperature to a solution of 1 g (1.8 mmol) of (S,S)-(+)-N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane in 70 ml of diethyl ether. The yellow solution was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours and subsequently admixed with 0.34 g (1.8 mmol) of TiCl4. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, subsequently filtered and the solvent was removed in an oil pump vacuum. This gave 0.85 g of (1) as a red, free-flowing powder.
