Synthesis of quaternary allylammonium salts via ring opening of 1-benzyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines
摘要:
Treatment of 1-benzyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridine, and some aryl substituted analogues, with an excess of iodomethane resulted in N-allyl-N-benzyl-N,N-dimethylammonium salts, in good yields. These quaternary allylammonium salts are of importance in different fields, from organic synthesis and polymeric chemistry to agricultural use. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
