Hydroalumination reactions on acetylenes and nitriles in the synthesis of carbaalanes and imidoalanes: an overview.
Hydroalumination reactions play an important role in industry as well as from the point of view of academics. The area of carbaalane chemistry is in its infant stage whereas aluminium nitride chemistry has generated a lot of interest from the synthetic and material science perspective. In this overview, we address the simple way of carrying out the hydroalumination reactions on acetylenes and nitriles in the synthesis of carbaalane and imidoalane cluster compounds. A possible mechanism involved in the synthesis of these compounds is discussed. Heteronuclear carbaalane and imidoalane clusters containing transition metals have also been emphasized.
