A novel and efficient calcium alkoxide initiating system, generated in situ from bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] an alcohol, for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters has been developed. The solution THF using mild conditions is living, yielding polyesters controlled molecular weight tailored macromolecular architecture. polymerizations initiated with 2-propanol−Ca[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 system are first-order monomer no induction period. At high...

Compounds of the type aryl--M--X, with M=Ca, Sr, Ba and X as any kind ligand (such halide, phosphanide, amide, aryl), are presented. The low reactivity heavy alkaline earth metals calcium, strontium, barium enforces an activation prior to use for direct synthesis. insertion these into C--I bonds aryl iodides (direct synthesis) yields metal has be performed at temperatures in THF. Aryl alkaline-earth-metal compounds show some characteristics: 1) ease ether cleavage reaction temperatures, 2)...

Abstract The organocalcium chemistry developed vastly during the last decade. preparation of compounds via direct synthesis (insertion Ca into a C‐X bond phenyl halides, Grignard reaction) affords skilful procedures due to inertia calcium metal and extreme reactivity derivatives. Further suitable preparative methods include metathesis reactions CaX 2 with KR or LiR, metallation H‐acidic substrates, metal‐halogen exchange reactions, transmetallation heavy main group atoms in their metal....

Heterobimetallic compounds of the alkaline-earth metals show a wide structural variety with strongly differing reactivity patterns. The combination magnesium and alkali metal amides yields cyclic molecules an extreme high which often are considered as "inverse crowns" atoms coordination sites for Lewis bases. In other metallates activation alkyl groups succeeds. zincates inverse type M(2)[(mu-R)(2)ZnR](2) is observed in bridging positions between zinc s-block thus forming very reactive...

Organocalcium chemistry is still in its infancy. The direct synthesis of activated calcium and (substituted) iodobenzenes allows for the large-scale high-yield aryl iodides. influence substitution patterns phenyl group, halogen atom, solvent discussed. Aryl iodides show a Schlenk equilibrium that enables isolation diaryl derivatives. Owing to high reactivity halides, low temperatures have be maintained throughout preparative procedures order avoid side reactions. A decrease and, hence, an...

The in‐situ Grignard addition method (iGAM) adds intermediately prepared organo alkaline‐earth metal halides onto a suitable substrate. Here, freshly rasped calcium and the carbodiimide R’‐N=C=N‐R’ (R’ = SiMe3, iPr) are suspended in THF at room temperature then an organyl halide R‐X (X Br, I) is added. Within several hours, formed R‐Ca‐X yielding corresponding thf adducts of amidinato {(R’N)2C‐R}CaX. Suitable besides aryl iodide methyl ethyl whereas bulkier isopropyl tert‐butyl iodides give...
