We investigated [{(Me2NCH2)2(C4H2N)}Li]2 (1) by means of experimental charge density calculations based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and DFT calculations using energy decomposition analysis (EDA).

Solutions of sodium 2-aminoethylamide in anhydrous ethylenediamine were prepared by dissolving ammoniacal sodium amide NaNH2 in ethylenediamine and removing the ammonia formed in vacuum. When these solutions were prepared and kept under nitrogen containing not more than about 5 p.p.m. of oxygen and 1 p.p.m. of moisture, they remained colorless and stable. Upon addition of benzene to these solutions, the pure amide precipitated as fine greyish–white crystals, which were also stable under pure nitrogen. The potassium 2-aminoethylamide was prepared in a similar way from ethylenediamine and potassium hydride. Its solid product resembles that of the corresponding sodium amide, but its solutions in ethylenediamine are less stable, rapidly turning dark brown because of polymerization. The basic strengths of these two 2-aminoethylamides were compared with the corresponding lithium amide by following potentiometrically the neutralization of ethylenediamine solutions of hydrochloric acid, p-methoxyphenol, water, and ethanolamine respectively. According to the heights of the potential jumps at the equivalence points the basic strength of the amides was found to increase in the order Na < Li < K.

While fluoroaryl fragments are ubiquitous in many pharmaceuticals, the deprotonation of fluoroarenes using organolithium bases constitutes an important challenge in polar organometallic chemistry. This has been widely attributed to the low stability of the in situ generated aryl lithium intermediates that even at –78 °C can undergo unwanted side reactions. Herein, pairing lithium amide LiHMDS (HMDS = N{SiMe3}2) with FeII(HMDS)2 enables the selective deprotonation at room temperature of pentafluorobenzene and 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene via the mixed-metal base [(dioxane)LiFe(HMDS)3] (1) (dioxane = 1,4-dioxane). Structural elucidation of the organometallic intermediates [(dioxane)Li(HMDS)2Fe(ArF)] (ArF = C6F5, 2; 1,3,5-F3-C6H2, 3) prior electrophilic interception demonstrates that these deprotonations are actually ferrations, with Fe occupying the position previously filled by a hydrogen atom. Notwithstanding, the presence of lithium is essential for the reactions to take place as Fe II (HMDS)2 on its own is completely inert towards the metallation of these substrates. Interestingly 2 and 3 are thermally stable and they do not undergo benzyne formation via LiF elimination.
