A. Jirgensons et al., A practical synthesis of tert-alkylamines via the Ritter reaction with chloroacetonitrile, SYNTHESIS-S, (12), 2000, pp. 1709-1712
Ritter reaction of tertiary alcohols with chloroacetonitrile and subsequent
cleavage of chloroacetyl group in the resulting chloroacetamide with thiou
rea is an efficient procedure for synthesis of tert-alkylamines.
