Formation of a Diaminoalkyne Derivative by Dialumane-mediated Homocoupling of t-Butyl Isocyanide
Treatment of a stable dialumane derivative with an excess of t-butyl isocyanide resulted in the homocoupling of the isocyanide to form a diaminoalkyne skeleton. A one-to-one insertion product of the isocyanide with the dialumane should be the intermediate for the generation of the diaminoalkyne derivative.
