Reactivity and NMR Spectroscopic Properties of Tri(tert-butyl)plumbyl-amine

Tri(tert-butyl)plumbyl-amine 1 was prepared and studied by one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) 1H, 13C, 15N and 207Pb NMR which allowed determination of the coupling signs 1J(207Pb,13C) (> 0), 2J(207Pb,13C) (> 0), 1J(207Pb,15N) (> 0; reduced coupling constant 1K(207Pb,I5N) < 0) and 2J(207Pb-N-1H) (< 0). Transamination of 1 with aniline and pyrazole afforded the corresponding aniline (2) and pyrazole derivatives (3), respectively. N-Lithiation of 1, followed by treatment with Me3SiCl gave the tri(tert-butyl)plumbyl-trimethylsilyl-amine 5. The multinuclear magnetic resonance data of 2, 3 and 5 are presented. Trimethylplumbylphenyl- amine and trimethylplumbyl-tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl-amine were prepared and their NMR data were measured for comparison.
