Abstract
The lithium alkoxyamides LiRN–OR1(2), in contrast to the alkoxyamines HRN–OR1(1), react with the organolithium compounds R2–Li to provide the amines HRN–R2(on hydrolysis); M.O. calculations indicate that the facile substitution of R1O– in (2) is due to (i) the formation of a LiRN–OR1·LiR2 dimer, (ii) a long N–O bond in (2), and (iii) the high stability of LiNH+.Keywords
