Abstract

Abstract: A new, selective, and mild approach to N-alkylation of polyamines has been demonstrated, which involves the novel reductive cleavage of the CN bond in cyclic amidines by diisobutylaluminum hydride. This method provides a new entry to a wide variety of N-alkylated polyamines and many interesting macrocyclic polyamines hitherto accessible only by lengthy or complicated synthesis.
