Aminohaloborane in Organic Synthesis. IX. Exclusive ortho Acylation Reaction of N-Monoaminoalkylanilines
The exclusive ortho acylation reaction of aniline derivatives using boron trichloride made possible the one-step synthesis of 2-acyl-N-monoaminoalkylanilines (1) and the corresponding imines (2) from N-monoaminoalkylanilines, even in the case of compounds with a bulky substituent at the nitrogen atom.Conventional methods only give 1 via elaborate procedures.Keywords: regioselective reaction; 2-acylaniline derivative; 2-acylaniline-imine derivative; boron trichloride
