Lithium Diisopropylamide: Oligomer Structures at Low Ligand Concentrations

Abstract
One- and two-dimensional 6Li and 15N NMR spectroscopic studies of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) solvated by substoichiometric concentrations of oxetane, THF, Et2O, and diisopropylamine are described. Partially solvated dimers and trimers are identified. Possible benefits of carrying out organolithium chemistry at low ligand concentrations are discussed.
