Abstract

Abstract A novel method for the preparation of 1-substituted 2, 2-dimethoxyethylamine hydrochlorides was developed. The method includes three highly efficient steps:(1) direct use of aqueous (MeO) 2 CHCHO for the preparation of N, O-acetal by condensation with Betti base without acidic catalyst;(2) regioselective alkylations of the N, O-acetal with Grignard reagents; and (3) Pd/C catalytic hydrogenolyses of benzylamines in the ...
