Abstract

Selective decarboxylation of two alkylallylurethane isomers into alkylallylamines has been performed in a biphasic system by using randomly hydroxypropylated and methylated cyclodextrins as discriminating agents. Surprisingly, the presence of small organic hydrosoluble molecules such as amine or alcohol derivatives appeared to be crucial in the discriminating process. Indeed, it was clearly proved that the presence of such additives ...
