Base-Stabilized Nitrilium Ions as Convenient Imine Synthons
摘要:
A simple and efficient methodology is presented for the synthesis of a wide range of substituted imines. It is based on stabilizing readily available, but thermally labile, N-alkylnitrilium triflates with pyridine or DMAP to moderately air-stable adducts. These base-stabilized imine synthons react conveniently with phosphorus- and nitrogen-based nucleophiles to amidines and phosphaamidines.
