The reactivity of the hydrocarbon-soluble calcium hydride complex [{CaH(dipp-nacnac)(thf)}(2)] (1; dipp-nacnac =CHI{(CMe)(2,6-iPr2- C6H3N)}(2)) with a large variety of substrates has been investigated. Addition of I to C=O and C=N functionalities gave easy access to calcium alkoxide and amide complexes. Similarly, reduction of the C equivalent to N bond in a cyanide or an isocyanide resulted in the first calcium aldimide complexes [Ca{N=C(H)-R}(dipp-nacnac)] and [Ca{C(H)-NR}-(dipp-nacnac)], respectively. Complexation of 1 with borane or alane Lewis acids gave the borates and alanates as contact ion pairs. In reaction with epoxides, nucleophilic ring-opening is observed as the major reaction. The high reactivity of hydrocarbon-soluble 1 with most functional groups contrasts strongly with that of insoluble CaH2, which is essentially inert and is used as a common drying agent. Crystal structures of the following products are presented: [{Ca{OC(H)Ph-2}(dipp-nacnac)}(2)], [{Ca{N=C(H)Ph)(dipp-nacnac)}(2)], [{Ca{C(H)=NC(Me)(2)CH2C-(Me)(3)}(dipp-nacnac)}(2)], [(Ca{C(H)= NCyl(dipp-nacnac)}(2)] [Ca(dipp-nacnac)(thf)](+)[H2BC8H14](-) and [{Ca(OCy)(dipp-nacnac)}(2)]. The generally smooth and clean conversions of I with a variety of substrates and the stability of most intermediates against ligand exchange make I a valuable key precursor in the syntheses of a wide variety of beta-diketiminate calcium complexes.
