A Convenient Two-Pot Conversion of Aldehydes to Sec-Alkyl Primary Amines: Reactions of α-(Benzotriazol-1-yl) Alkyliminophosphoranes with Organocerium (III) Or …
Abstract 1-(a-Phosphoroylideneaminoalky1) benzotriazoles reacted with organocerium (III) dichlorides or Grignard reagents to produce N-(sec-alkyl) iminophosphoranes, which were hydrolyzed to sec-alkyl primary amines in good overall yields. This sequence provides a convenient two-pot transformation of aldehydes to sec-alkyl primary amines.
