N-lithio-N,N',N'',N''-tetramethyldiethylenetriamine and N'-lithio- N,N,N'',N''-tetramethyldiethylenetriamine; oxidative coupling of aminomethyllithium derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408019050

N-lithio-N,N',N'',N''-tetramethyldiethylenetriamine (I-Li) is formed from 2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-2,5,8,11-tetraazadodecane (III) or from 2,5,8,11,14,17- hexamethyl-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaazaoctadecane (IV) with n-BuLi or sec-BuLi, respectively, its isomer N'-lithio-N,N,N'',N'',-tetramethyldiethylene- triamine (II-Li) from tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine (V) with n-BuLi. IV results from treatment of N-lithiomethyl-N,N',N'',N''- tetramethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDTA-Li) with 1,2-dibromoethane.
