Evidence of the facile hydride and enolate addition to the imine bond of an aluminum-salophen complex.
The isolation of complexes 2 and 3, unambiguously characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, demonstrates that nucleophilic additions to the aluminum-coordinated imino bond of salophen complex 1 can be achieved under very mild conditions.
