Ar. Katritzky et al., THE PREPARATION OF FUNCTIONALIZED AMINES AND AMIDES USING BENZOTRIAZOLE DERIVATIVES AND ORGANOZINC REAGENTS, Tetrahedron, 54(25), 1998, pp. 7167-7178
Secondary and tertiary amines 6 are conveniently prepared in good yiel
ds by reacting organozinc halides with adducts 4, which are derived fr
om the corresponding amines, aldehydes and benzotriazole. The use of o
rganozinc reagents enables the introduction of nitro, cyano or ester f
unctionalities into amine mainframes. This methodology was also used t
o prepare functionalized amides 8. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. AII
