Scheme 3.

Scheme 3

Left: Reaction of 1 with methoxybenzene (anisole) proceeding through formal C−O oxidative addition at AlI. Right: Molecular structure of 4 within the dimeric unit as determined by X‐ray crystallography. Thermal ellipsoids set at the 50 % probability level. H atoms omitted and selected groups shown in wireframe format for clarity. Selected bond lengths [Å] and angles [°]: Al–O 2.122(1), Al–N 1.936(2), 1.939(1), Al–C 2.009(3), Al–OPh 1.799(2); N‐Al‐N 134.6(1). [15]
