Abstract

(IC) gave similar results. 3-Benzyl-2-p-tolyloxazolidine (7) was cleaved under the same conditions (1-3 hr, room temperature), but Troger's base and L-thiazolidine-&carboxylic acid methyl ester were unaffected. The cleavage reaction appears useful for the synthesis of N, N, N'-trisubstituted ethylenediamines.
