Aromatic tertiary amines, enamines, deoxybenzoins and benzils

A novel synthesis of aromatic tertiary amines involves reacting an aromatic anil and an aromatic ether in a molar ratio of 1:1; adjusting the ratio to 2:1 produces novel enamines and by employing a two step process for enamine production, various unsymmetrically substituted enamines can be obtained which are readily hydrolyzed to corresponding deoxybenzoins which in turn are readily oxidized to benzils, the aromatic tertiary amines may be used to produce charge transport layers in xerography, while the benzils may be used to produce a variety of desired polymers.

Various N,N-diarylarylmethanamines were synthesized by the reaction of N-(arylmethylene)arenamines with (arylmethoxy)arenes in dimethylformamide solution in the presence of a strong base as a catalyst which is obtained in situ by reacting metallic sodium with this solvent.In general, the reaction may be depicted as the reduction of the imine and addition, on the original imino nitrogen atom, of the aryl group (of the aryloxy moiety) of the ether and presumably oxidation of the arylmethoxy group of the ether to its corresponding aldehyde.Side reactions and a proposed reaction mechanism are discussed.
