The preparation and properties of the hydrobromides of 4-bromo-2, 2-dimethyl-, diethyl-, diisopropyl-, diphenyl-and di-ptolylbutylamines are described. Alternate synthetic routes were explored. Some of the analogous hydroxy, methoxy and phenoxy amines were made, and the cyclization products of all the compounds were prepared. The best sequence started with the alkylation of the properly substituted acetonitrile with phenoxy-or methoxyethyl ...
