Abstract
Light alkali metal (Li, Na, K) amides have a long history of synthetic utility, but heavier (Rb, Cs) congeners have barely been studied. This study reveals remarkable structurally complex outcomes of reacting AM(HMDS) (AM = Rb, Cs; HMDS = hexamethyldisilazide) with benzaldehyde and acetophenone. Though complicated, reactions give a diversity of eye-catching isolated products, an enolate with a hexagonal prismatic network, two dienolates with distinct extended ladder motifs, and two β-imino-alkoxides comprising zig-zag chains of metal–oxygen bonds in infinite cages.
