Reversible [4 + 1] Cycloaddition of Arenes by a “Naked” Acyclic Aluminyl Compound

The large steric profile of the N-heterocyclic boryloxy ligand, –OB­(NDippCH)2, and its ability to stabilize the metal-centered HOMO, are exploited in the synthesis of the first example of a “naked” acyclic aluminyl complex, [K­(2.2.2-crypt)]­[Al­{OB­(NDippCH)2}2]. This system, which is formed by su...
