Contrary to earlier observations, N-methyl-N- phenylaminotriphenylphosphonium iodide 1 (the Murahashi reagent) does not react with alcohols and primary or secondary amines under mild conditions (80°) to give secondary or tertiary amines. However the reaction can be successfully performed at higher temperatures. A mechanistic scheme implying initial amine exchange between 1 and the added amine leading to the N,N- dimethyl analog 5 is suggested. An improved synthesis where the reactive intermediate 5 is formed in situ from triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrachloride and HNR3R4 is described.

A new synthetic approach to primary and secondary amines using N-lithiated triphenylphosphinimine is reported.This key reagent, accessible in two steps from dibromortiphenylphosphorane and ammonia, when treated with electrophiles yields N-substituted triphenylphosphinimine derivatives.These can react to give N-mono or disubstituted triphenylphosphonium salts which upon hydrolysis lead to the corresponding primary and secondary amines.
