Syntheses and Redox Properties of Di-, Tri-, Tetra-, and Pentaamines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1995.1011

A series of di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentaamines were synthesized as precursors for corresponding di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta(aminium radical-cations) by the aryl-N bond formation reaction between aryl iodides and in situ prepared copper amide in refluxing pyridine.Cyclic voltammograms of meta-connected derivatives consisted of irreversible waves which imply side reactions in addition to oxidation to aminium radical-cations.
