Synthesis of 2-(buta-1,3-diynyl)-N,N-dimethylanilines Using Reductive Methylation Step
摘要:
Synthesis of 2-(buta-1,3-diynyl)-N,N-dimethylanilines based on reductive methylation of ortho-iodoanilines using CH2O-NaBH3CN and coupling with terminal diacetylens was developed. Altered sequence including dimethylation of 2-(buta-1,3-diynyl)anilines was also successfully achieved and gave higher overall yields in the case of anilines without acceptor substituent in the ring.
