M. Toffano et al., DMF AS A DIMETHYLAMINE EQUIVALENT IN THE PALLADIUM-CATALYZED NUCLEOPHILIC-SUBSTITUTION OF NAPHTHYLMETHYL AND ALLYL ACETATES, Tetrahedron letters, 38(1), 1997, pp. 77-80
Naphthylmethyl acetates 1a and 2a were substituted by morpholine in DM
PU in the presence of 2 mol% of [Pd(dba)(2) + 15 dppe] to give product
s 9-10 in 66-70% isolated yield. In DMF in the presence of benzylamine
, N,N-dimethylnaphthylmethylamines 11-12 were produced in 78-85% isola
ted yield. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
