Abstract
The reaction of barium metal granules in tetrahydrofuran with 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, utilizing gaseous ammonia as a catalyst, followed by addition of hexamethylphosphoramide, yields a monomeric barium species. The corresponding reaction of barium metal granules, 2-(dimethylamino) ethanol, and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol in toluene yields an identical compound. The species has been characterized by IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray studies
