Abstract
Formation of borane complexes of N, N-dimethylbenzylamine, N, N-dimethyl (1-naphthyl) methylamine, N, N-dimethyl (2-naphthyl) methylamine, N-methyltetrahydroisoquinoline and N-methylisoindoline facilitates regioselective metallation of these systems using BuLi, giving intermediate benzylic anions which react with a range of electrophiles to give products in good yield.
