Direct and selective N-monoalkynylation and N-monoalkenylation of anilines with alky(e)nyl methanesulfonates using methylmagnesium bromide as a base

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1997-1225

Several anilines were directly N-monoalkynylated and N-monoalkenylated with alkynyl methanesulfonates and alkenyl methanesulfonates, respectively, using methylmagnesium bromide as a base in good yields with high selectivities.
