Cost efficient preparation of lead aminoalkoxides directly from lead(II) oxide

Abstract

The prepn. of lead(II) aminoalkoxides has been demonstrated from the direct reaction of aminoalcs. with lead(II) oxide. The denticity of the aminoalcs. detd. the facility of the reactions, the rate increasing with the no. of hydroxyls. Thus, [Pb(dmae)2], 1, [Pb(mdea)]/, 2, and [Pb(teaH)]2, 3 (dmaeH = dimethylaminoethanol, mdeaH2 = N-methyldiethanolamine, and teaH3 = triethanolamine) have been prepd. in high yields and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR. The X-ray crystal structure analyses of 2 and 3 are described
