Mr. Saidi et al., A simple one-pot three-component reaction for preparation of secondary amines and amino esters mediated by lithium perchlorate, TETRAHEDRON, 57(31), 2001, pp. 6829-6832
The one-pot synthesis of several secondary amines and secondary amino ester
s are reported. Treatment of aldehydes (aliphatic or aromatic) with (trimet
hylsilyl)alkylamines, in the presence of 5 M lithium perchlorate in diethyl
ether gives intermediate imines. Reaction of these intermediate imines wit
h different nucleophiles and functionalized organozinc reagents, BrZnCH2COO
R, produce a variety of secondary amines and N-alkyl- or N-arylamino, ester
s in good yields. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
