Ar. Katritzky et al., TOSYLMETHYLAMINES AS NONSTABILIZED ALPHA-AMINOCARBANION SYNTHON EQUIVALENTS - ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS, Journal of organic chemistry, 62(18), 1997, pp. 6222-6225
Tosylmethylamines (1) are advantageous synthon equivalents for ''nonst
abilized'' alpha-aminocarbanions of aromatic amines, Clean reactions a
nd high yields are observed provided one-step procedures are utilized:
the intermediate ''nonstabilized'' alpha-aminocarbanions are of low s
tability, Reactions formally involving dianions from bis(tosylmethyl)-
substituted amines have also been achieved.
