One-Step Hydroxy Substitution of 4,4′-Dimethoxybenzhydrol with Amides, Lactams, Carbamates, Ureas and Anilines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1996-4230

A series of amides, lactams, carbamates, ureas and anilines, equipped with various functionalities, were readily N-alkylated with the 4,4′-dimethoxybenzhydryl residue by reaction with 4,4′-dimethoxybenzhydrol [bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol] in acetic acid,
