Abstract

Abstract N, N-Disubstituted α-aminonitriles undergo Bruylants reaction under Barbier and Reformatsky conditions with activated halides, in the presence of zinc and 10 mol% HOAc. The high yields and the simple operational conditions make this reaction an appealing approach to N, N-disubstituted homoallylamines and β-aminoesters.
