Abstract

Abstract In contrast to the high stability of N-alkyl-N-cyclopropylamine derivatives, N- cyclopropyl-N-phenylamine (1a) has been found to slowly convert into the hitherto unknown product N-(1, 2-dioxolan-3-yl)-N-phenylamine (1f) at room temperature under aerobic conditions. The rate of this conversion was found to be significantly increased by the presence of a catalytic amount of the single-electron oxidizing agent tris (1, 10- ...
