M. Akssira et al., SYNTHESIS OF DIALLYLAMINES AND TRIALLYLAM INES FROM 3-ACETOXY-3-ARYL-2-METHYLENE PROPIONITRILES AND METHYL 3-ACETOXY-3-ARYL-2-METHYLENE PROPIONATES, Canadian journal of chemistry, 72(5), 1994, pp. 1357-1361
The reactions of 3-acetoxy-3-aryl-2-methylene propionitriles 1 with am
monia yielded the corresponding diallylamines 3ZZ. The reaction of 1 w
ith a primary allylamine or with ethylene diamine gave the diallylamin
e 11 or 13ZZ. The treatment of methyl 3-acetoxy-3-aryl-2-methylene pro
pionates 2 with isopropylamine or ethylene diamine gave the allylamine
s 6EE or 14 and 15, but the reaction of 2 with ammonia gave only the t
riallylamines 4EEE in good yields.
