F. Gyenes et al., CONVENIENT ACCESS TO PRIMARY AMINES BY EMPLOYING THE BARBIER-TYPE REACTION OF N-(TRIMETHYLSILYL)IMINES DERIVED FROM AROMATIC AND ALIPHATIC-ALDEHYDES, Journal of organic chemistry, 63(9), 1998, pp. 2824-2828
A new versatile preparation of primary amines via benzylation of aroma
tic and aliphatic aldimines is described. Sonochemical and traditional
methods for generation of the reactive intermediates are compared and
contrasted. Competitive reactions were analyzed via free energy relat
ionships to support the proposed alkylative mechanism.
