A Simple, One-Pot Transformation of t-Alkyl Chlorides Into (t-Alkyl)amines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1987-27978

t-Alkyl chlorides are readily azidated using trimethylsilyl azide in the presence of tin tetrachloride.Tertiary azides can be transformed without isolation into the corresponding (t-alkyl)amine hydrochlorides in a one-pot procedure employing the Staudinger reaction.
