46. It is possible that amine loss from 4 is responsible for deuteration of the amido hydrogens, instead of eqs 4–7. However, the conditions required for deuteration are much milder than for 1, and efforts directed toward amine elimination to form a bis(imido) derivative have been unsuccessful. Cummins, C.

52. At [THF-d8] =0.111 M, [C6D6] ~ 11.2 M. Neglecting kinetic isotope effects present in the deuteration cycle and given the stated observation limit of 10%, the trapping ratio kTHF[THF-d8]/kbenzene[C6D6] = 10, hence kTHF/kbenzene ≥ 103.
53. At [tBu3SiND2] = 0.345 M, the pseudo-first-order rate constant k = 3.0 × 10−4 (91 °C); at [tBu3SiND2] = 0.691 M, k = 7.0 × 10−4 (91 °C). Note that in principle, both A and C would exhibit regimes where deuteration rate is independent of [tBu3SiND2], provided concentrations of the latter are high. Alternatively stated, the intercepts of 1/kobs vs 1/[tBu3SiND2] plots for mechanisms A and C would be independent of [tBu3SiND2], whereas the intercept for A would be dependent on [tBu3SiND2].

68. For structural and theoretical treatments of asymmetric (e.g., [Me2[tBuN)W]2(µ-NtBu)2) vs symmetric (e.g., [(Me2N)2Ti]2(µ-NtBu)2) imido bridges, see: Thorn, D. L.; Nugent, W. A.; Harlow, R. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1981, 103, 357–363, and references therein. In view of the treatment by Thorn et al., it is interesting to view the nonplanar C2 geometry of [(tBu3SiNH)Ti]2(µ-NSitBu3)2 (17) as a severe distortion from planarity that occuss solely to maximize π-bonding, regardless of the Ti-Ti bond.
