Abstract

Abstract : Lithium or sodium reduction of [SiN Dipp Be] in benzene, provides the organoberyllate products, [{SiN Dipp BePh}M] (M = Li or Na). Abstract : Reaction of BeCl2 with the dilithium diamide, [{SiN Dipp }Li2 ] ({SiN Dipp } = {CH2 SiMe2 NDipp}2 ), provides the dimeric chloroberyllate, [{SiN Dipp BeCl}Li]2, en route to the 2-coordinate beryllium amide, [SiN Dipp Be]. Lithium or sodium reduction of [SiN Dipp Be] in benzene, provides the relevant organoberyllate products, [{SiN Dipp BePh}M] (M = Li or Na), via the presumed intermediacy of transient Be(i ) radicals.
