M. Selva et al., A SIMPLE ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALIZED KETIMINES FROM KETONES AND AMINE HYDROCHLORIDE SALTS, Synthetic communications, 25(3), 1995, pp. 369-378
Functionalized ketimines of the general formula RR'C(=NCH2Y) [R and R'
= Ph, alkyl; Y = CN (1), CH2Cl (2), COOMe (3)] have been prepared by
the condensation of ketones with the corresponding primary amine hydro
chloride salts [NH2CH2CN.HCl (4), NH2CH2CH2Cl.HCl (5) and NH2CH2COOMe.
HCl (6), respectively]. The reported reaction proceeds mildly in a sin
gle step without the need of a previous isolation of the free amine fr
om its salt. N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is used as the solvent and Ti
Cl4 as the drying agent.
