Lithium Alkylamide Catalyzed Addition Reaction of Alkylamine to Vinyl Monomers. II. Preparation and<i>Q</i>,<i>e</i>-Values of New Styrene Derivative: (<i>S</i>)-<i>N</i>-α-Methylbenzyl-3-vinylphenethylamine
The lithium alkylamide catalyzedadditionreaction of α-methylbenzylamine with 1,3-divinylbenzene (m-DVB)was found to produce N-α-methylbenzyl-3-vinylphenethylamine (1:1 adduct) (m-MBVPA), which is a new styrene derivative, and 1,3-bis(N-α-phenethyl-2-aminoethyl)benzene (1:2 adduct). The specific rotation of (S)-N-α-methylbenzyl-3-vinylphenethylamine derived from the optically active (S)-α-methylbenzylamine
