C. Henneuse et al., ONE-STEP HYDROXY SUBSTITUTION OF 4,4'-DIMETHOXYBENZHYDROL WITH AMIDES, LACTAMS, CARBAMATES, UREAS AND ANILINES, Synthesis, (4), 1996, pp. 495
A series of amides, lactams, carbamates, ureas and anilines, equipped
with various functionalities, were readily N-alkylated with the 4,4'-d
imethoxybenzhydryl residue by reaction with 4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydrol [
bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol] in acetic acid, at room temperature, und
er H2SO4 catalysis.
