A straightforward alkali‐metal‐mediated hydroamination of styrenes using biorenewable 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran as a solvent is reported. Refuting the conventional wisdom of the incompatibility of organolithium reagents with air and moisture, shown here is that the presence of moisture is key in favoring formation of the target phenethylamines over competing olefin polymerization products. The method
据报道,使用可生物再生的2-甲基四氢呋喃作为溶剂进行的直接的碱金属介导的苯乙烯加氢胺化反应。驳斥有机锂试剂与空气和水分不相容的传统观点,此处表明,水分的存在是形成目标苯乙胺优于竞争性烯烃聚合产物的关键。该方法也与氨基钠兼容,后者在惰性气氛条件下作为高效催化剂显示出极好的前景。
