Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) is an organic compound with the formula ((CH3)2N)2C=C(N(CH3)2)2, It is a colorless liquid. It is classified as an enamine. Primary and secondary enamines tend to isomerize, but tertiary enamines are kinetically stable.[1] One unusual feature of TDAE is that it is a tetra-enamine. The pi-donating tendency of the amine groups strongly enhances the basicity of the molecule, which does exhibit properties of a typical alkene.[2]
Reactions
[edit ]TDAE reacts with oxygen in a chemiluminescent reaction to give tetramethylurea.[3] [4] The initial intermediate is (2+2) adduct, a 1,2-dioxetane. This species decomposes to electronically excited tetramethylurea. This returns to the ground state is accompanied by emission of green light with a maximum at 515 nm.[5]
TDAE is an electron donor with E = 1.06 V vs Fc+/0.[6]
TDAE has been examined as a reductant in coupling reactions.[7]
As one of many of examples of its redox behavior forms a charge-transfer salt with buckminsterfullerene:[8]
- C2(N(CH3)2)4 + C60 → [C2(N(CH3)2)4+][C60−] Oxidation affords a dication.
Structure
[edit ]Crystallographic analysis show that TDAE is a highly distorted alkene, the dihedral angle for the two N2C termini is 28°. The C=C distance is alkene-like, 135 pm. The nearly isostructural tetraisopropylethylene also has a C=C distance of 135 pm, but its C6 core is planar. In contrast, [TDAE]2+ is an alkane with multi-C-N bonds.[9]
Synthesis
[edit ]It is available by pyrolysis of tris(dimethylamino)methane by pyrolysis[10] or from chlorotrifluoroethene and dimethylamine.[11]
