Discussion The successful alkylation of prim-and sec-amines by t-acetylenic chlorides was first reported in a previous paper in this series3 The present study was undertaken to determine if this reaction is applicable to amines RNHz and RR'NH of varied basicities and steric features; if the acetylenic amines, R1R2C (NRSR4) C= CH, so produced are amenable to semi-and full hydrogenation without hydrogenolysis; and thus to ascertain if ...
