• Description: We have presented a novel method for preparing aluminum amides and hydroxides from the corresponding chlorides. The main byproduct - N,N-di-tbutylimidazolium chloride - can be easily separated from the product by filtration and recycled to the free base. LAl(NH2)2 is to the best of our knowledge the first monomeric main-group metal diamide containing two terminal NH2 groups.
