Rm. Barmore et al., THE ADDITION OF AMINES TO DIISOBUTYLALUMINUM-IMINE COMPLEXES - PREPARATION OF NPS R-568 HYDROCHLORIDE, Tetrahedron letters, 39(21), 1998, pp. 3451-3454
A facile procedure for the preparation of secondary and tertiary amine
s from nitriles has been developed. The addition of amines to diisobut
ylaluminum-imine complexes derived by treating nitriles with DIBAL-H w
as found to proceed in moderate to good yields and was used to prepare
NPS R-568 (1) hydrochloride, a potent calcium receptor agonist. (C) 1
