Abstract

0, R= C-Hx h. R= n-oct e, R= sec-BU with secondary amines and potassium amide afforded mainly Nfl-dialkyl-3, 4-xylidines 12 in 72-88% yields and small quantities of N, N-dialkyl-2, 3- xylidines 11 in yields generally less than 10%(eq 2). The results are listed in Table Ib. The amine product distribution from both reactions was heavily in favor of the 4-substituted product, indicating that aryne 3 is formed preferentially from 4a. For example, the product ...
