We describe efforts to understand the structure and reactivity of lithiated cyclohexanone N-cyclohexylimine. The lithloimine affords complex solvent-dependent distributions of monomers, dimers, and trimers in a number of ethereal solvents. Careful selection of solvent provides exclusively monosolvated dimers. Rate studies on the C-alkylations reveal chronic mixtures of monomer- and dimer-based pathways. We explore the factors influencing reactants and alkylation transition structures and the marked differences between lithioimines and isostructural lithium dialkylamides with the aid of density functional theory calculations.
