A. Kaiser et W. Wiegrebe, 1,3-DIPHENYLPROPAN-1,3-DIAMINES .9. REACTION OF ALPHA-CHLOROOXIME ETHERS WITH ALPHA-LITHIOBENZYLAMINES, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 127(6-7), 1996, pp. 763-774
The carbanions of the benzylamine derivatives 1-4 have been reacted wi
th alpha-chlorooxime ether 5 in order to gel precursors of 1,3-dipheny
lpropane-1,3-diamines. Isonitrile 1 afforded the expected result, wher
eas lithiated benzamide 2 underwent oxidative dimerization and transme
tallated chlorooxime derivative 5. Isoxazolidine 3 gave the condensati
on product 21 as a mixture of diastereomers; treatment of imine 4 led
to the desired amine-oxime 15 in low yield.
