Abstract

Naphthylmethyl acetates 1a and 2a were substituted by morpholine in DMPU in the presence of 2 mol% of [Pd (dba) 2+ 1.5 dppe] to give products 9–10 in 66–70% isolated yield. In DMF in the presence of benzylamine, N, N-dimethylnaphthylmethylamines 11–12 were produced in 78–85% isolated yield.
