The reaction of tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine (Me(6)tren) with Grignard reagents and related Mg precursors has been investigated. Treating Me(6)tren with 2 equiv of PhMgBr in diethyl ether resulted in the formation of [(Me(6)tren)MgBr]Br (1), in which Me(6)tren is bound in a kappa(4) fashion. This is the first example of a Mg complex containing Me(6)tren or a related tris(aminoethyl)amine ligand. In contrast, when MeMgBr was treated with either 1 or 2 equiv of Me(6)tren, a mixture containing 1 and the alkyl species [(Me(6)tren)MgMe]Br (3) was produced. It was not possible to separate the two compounds to generate a pure sample of 3. Reaction between Me(6)tren and greater than 4 equiv of MeMgBr formed [(Me(6)tren)MgBr](2)[MgBr4] (4), an analogue of 1 with a different counterion. The highly unusual dialkyl Mg compound (Me(6)tren)MgMe2 (5), which features a,kappa(3)-bound Me(6)tren ligand, was synthesized through the reaction of Me2Mg with Me(6)tren. The reaction of 5 with excess phenylacetylene or carbon dioxide yielded (Me(6)tren)Mg(CCPh)(2) (6) and Mg(OAc)(2), respectively, while treatment with benzylalcohol, benzylamine, 4-tert-butylcatechol, 4-tert-butylphenol, and aniline all resulted in decomposition. The addition of 1 equiv of 2,6-lutidine center dot HBArF (BArF = tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate) to 5 formed [(Me(6)tren)MgMe]BArF (7), a rare example of a neutral ancillary ligand supported cationic monoalkyl Mg species. Compounds 1, 4, and 5 have been crystallographically characterized.
