Abstract

Reactions of N-halobenzylmethylamines 1 and 2 (X= C1 and Br) with MeONa-MeOH have been investigated. Eliminations from 1 were quantitative, producing only benzylidenemethylamines. Reaction of 2 with MeONa-MeOH produced benzylidenemethylamines and benzylmethylamines. The yield of benzylidenemethylamine increased with electron-withdrawing aryl substituents and increased base concentration ...
