cohols with different types of N-nucleophiles under
very mild reaction conditions. The high reactivity of
the calcium catalyst allows for an efficient conversion
of secondary and tertiary benzylic and allylic as well
as tertiary propargylic alcohols. Typical reactions pro-
ceed at room temperature, with no added strong acids
or bases, and special precautions for exclusion of
moisture or air are unnecessary.
Experimental Section
General Procedure for the Amination of Alcohols
The alcohol (0.5 mmol) and the nucleophile (0.75 mmol)
were dissolved in 1.5 mL of dichloromethane. Bu4NPF6
(5 mol%) and CaACHTUNGTRENNUNG(NTf2)2 (5 mol%) were added at room
temperature and stirred until conversion of the alcohol was
complete (monitored by TLC). For the isolation of the prod-
uct, 5 mL of saturated NaHCO3 solution were added, the
aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane, the
combined organic extracts dried over Na2SO4 and concen-
trated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by
column chromatography.
