Synthesis of Hexa‐ and Dodecanuclear Organoaluminum Ring Structures Incorporating the “Magic” Ph2C(X) Group (X=O−, NH−)

The magic touch! By using the “magic” group Ph2C(X) (X=O−, NH−), aluminum ring systems such as 1 have been synthesized from trimethylaluminum. For diphenylglycine (X=NH−), both six- and twelve-membered rings have been structurally identified.
