Abstract

View all references is no doubt an improvement but involves the use of costly fluorous??tethered??TPP. All the above??mentioned methods require dual steps, ie, the formation of iminophosphoranes followed by hydrolysis with water. The method developed by us spontaneously results in the formation of amines when the azide is treated with TPP/methanol. Moreover, the amines 2a–e could be directly precipitated out from the crude reaction mixture as ...
