Abstract

Abstract Herein we report simple Bronsted acid-mediated reactions of aldehydes with 2- vinylaniline and biphenyl-2-amine. Ultimately, the useful nitrogen-containing heterocycle derivatives are obtained. The electronic properties of the substituents on the aldehydes and 2-vinylaniline were investigated. It was found that molecules with both electron-donating and- withdrawing substituents were perfectly suitable substrates for this transformation, and the ...
