Bis(dichloroalumino)methane (BDAM, 1) has been synthesized in high yield from aluminum powder and methylene chloride by a published procedure carefully modified for safety.By the screening away of aluminum metal fine particles and the gradual addition of methylene bromide promoter over the course of reaction, a safe procedure was attained.Although 1 itself was a poor methylenating agent for ketones, its dietherate complex was distinctly more reactive.By exchanging half the halogens of 1 with Me3Al, MeMgBr, or Et3Al, two very effective methylenating agents for ketones, namely CH2(AlClMe)2 (2) and CH2(AlClEt)2 (3), were obtained.As diether ates with Et2O or THF, 2 and 3 smoothly converted a broad variety of ketones (aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic) into their corresponding methylene derivatives, with little or no competitive alkylation or reduction.A titanium-modified reagent, Cl2AlCH2TiCl3 (4), was also effective toward ketones, but gave only low conversions of esters to vinyl ethers.Finally, as an example of a multicarbon, alkylenating agent, the reagents 5-7 ((R2Al)2CH(CH2)4CH3, 5, R = Et; 6, R = Cl; and 7, R = Cl or Et) were examined.Good to fair yields of alkylenation were obtained with aromatic ketones, but aliphatic ketones underwent alkylation, hydride reduction, and/or aldol condension.The great influence of alkyl groups and donor solvent on the reactivity of 1-3 is briefly discussed.
