Atom efficient cyclotrimerization of dimethylcyanamide catalyzed by aluminium amide: a combined experimental and theoretical investigation. [Journal Article]
Chem Commun (Camb) 2008 Aug 21; (31):3645-7.

A novel method for the cyclotrimerization of dimethylcyanamide to form hexamethylmelamine has been developed using an aluminium amide catalyst; detailed DFT modelling of the catalytic cycle supports a triple insertion, nucleophilic ring closure, deinsertion mechanism.
