Chart I venient direct transformation of organolithium derivatives to amino derivatives is available. Recently, Trost3 introduced azidomethyl phenyl sulfide as a synthon for NH2+. The reaction of Grignard reagents prepared directly or by the reaction of organolithium derivatives with magnesium bromide gave triazenes with azidomethyl phenyl sulfide which upon hydrolysis with strong alkali gave the amino derivatives in good yield. However, ...
