Addition of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran to catalytically generated N-methyleneamine equivalents: Synthesis of 5-aminomethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-96-7650

Catalytically generated N-methyleneamine equivalents from N-methoxymethylanilines, 1,3,5-triphenyl- and 1,3,5-tribenzylhexahydro-l,3,5-triazines in the presence of Lewis acid reacted with 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran to give 5-aminomethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones in high yield.
