Abstract

The copper-catalyzed electrophilic amination of diorganozinc reagents employing O-acyl N, N-dialkyl hydroxylamine derivatives as aminating agents is described. This reaction offers a general method for the preparation of tertiary amines in high yields and is noteworthy for its convenience both in terms of reaction conditions employed (room temperature,≤ 1 h) and ease of product isolation (acid/base extractive workup).
