Abstract

The reaction of N-phenylazetidine 1a with an excess of lithium powder and a catalytic amount of 4, 4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (5 mol%) in THF at− 15° C leads to the corresponding dianion 2a, which by treatment with different electrophiles (H2O, D2O, ButCHO, PhCHO,(CH 2) 5C O, PhCH NPh, CO2) yields, after hydrolysis with water, the expected functionalysed amines 3aa-ah. The same method applied to N-isopropyl-2-phenylazetidine 1 c affords ...
