N2 - The reaction of 1,8-bis(trimethylsilylamino)naphthalene (LH2) (1) with nBuLi yields the dilithium compound [1,8-(Me3SiN) 2C10H6](Li)2(thf)3 (2). Compound 1 reacts with H3Al·NMe3 with elimination of hydrogen gas to produce [1,8-(Me3SiN)2C 10H6]AlH(NMe3) (3), and the reaction of 2 with MeAlCl2 leads to [1,8-(Me3SiN)2C 10H6]Al(Me)thf (4). Compounds 3 and 4 are the first two aluminum mononuclear compounds to contain the 1,8-diaminonaphthalene ligand. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectroscopy, MS, and single-crystal X-ray structural analysis.
