A convenient method for the preparation of primary amines using tritylamine
A simple method for the preparation of primary amines by treating N-tritylamines with trifluoroacetic acid has been established. The N-tritylamines were prepared by the reaction of alkyl halides or alkyl p-toluenesulfonates with tritylamine, or by the reaction of alkyl bromides with lithium tritylamide.
