Conclusions
• The transformations in the nonelectrophilic pyridine N-alkylation reactions documented in this study are undoubtedly attributable to the special electronic and steric characteristics of 2,6-bis(imino)pyridines, which facilitate strong binding of the bis(imino)pyridine to the main group metal centers while disfavoring attack at the imino nitrogen or carbon centers due to the presence of bulky imino aryl substituents.
• Pyridine and imino functionalities have the capacity to engage in metal-to-ligand charge transfer and, under certain circumstances, even to formally accept one or more electrons. When combined with the extensive charge delocalization made possible through the two adjoining imino groups, the aromatic stabilization of the pyridine moiety is overcome.
• These results serve to highlight in a unique fashion the “noninnocent” behavior of the bis(imino)pyridine ligand system and may illuminate why the combination of pyridine and imino donors is so special in the metal-based chemistry and catalysis they support.
