α-Aminated methyllithium by DTBB-catalysed lithiation of a N- (chloromethyl) carbamate
Ortiz, Javier,Guijarro, Albert,Yus, Miguel
, p. 4831 - 4842 (1999)
The reaction of O-tert-butyl-N-(chloromethyl)-N-methyl carbamate (1) with lithium powder and a catalytic amount of 4,4'-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 2.5 mol %) in the presence of different electrophiles [Me3SiCl, (i)BuCHO, (t)BuCHO, PhCHO, 4-MeOC6H4CHO, (CH2)4CO, MeCO(n)Pr, Et2CO, MeCO(CH2)2CH=CH2, PhCOMe, PhCO(n)Bu, Ph2CO] in THF at -78°C leads, after hydrolysis with water, to the expected functionalised carbamates 2. Carbamates 2 derived from carbonyl compounds are deprotected with hydrogen chloride (for aromatic aldehyde or ketone derivatives) or with a mixture of phenol and trimethylsilyl chloride (for aliphatic aldehyde derivatives) giving substituted 1,2-diols 4.
O-tert-butyl-N-(chloromethyl)-N-methyl carbamate as a source of the MeNHCH2- synthon

The reaction of O-tert-butyl-N-(chloromethyl)-N-methyl carbamate (1) with lithium powder and a catalytic amount of DTBB (2.5 mol %) in the presence of different electrophiles [Me3SiCl, Bu(i)CHO, Bu(t)CHO, PhCHO, (CH2)4CO, Et2CO, PhCOMe, Ph2CO] in THF at -78°C leads, after hydrolysis with water, to the expected functionalised carbamates 2. As an example, the hydrolysis of compound 2e with hydrogen chloride affords easy deprotection of the amine functionality yielding the corresponding 1,2-aminoalcohol 3e.
