Reversible Reductive Elimination in Aluminum(II) Dihydrides.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are defining reactions of transition-metal organometallic chemistry. In main-group chemistry, oxidative addition is now well-established but reductive elimination reactions are not yet general in the same way. Herein, we report dihydrodialanes supported by amidophosphine ligands. The ligand serves as a stereochemical reporter for reversible reductive elimination/oxidative addition chemistry involving Al^I and Al^III intermediates.
