Abstract

Abstract A variety of functionally-substituted N-alkyl-N-methylaminomethyllithium compounds, CH 3 (R) NCH 2 Li, have been prepared in moderate to high yields via transmetalation reactions between the appropriate (N-alkyl-N-methylaminomethyl) tributyltin compounds and n-butyllithium. Also, bis (N-lithiomethyl) methylamine was obtained by this synthetic method. N-Benzyl-Nmethylaminomethyllithium (I) was found to readily undergo a ...
