The Mannich dimethylaminomethylation of carbonyl compounds is conveniently carried out via enol trimethylsilyl ethers by a combination of chloroiodomethane (CH2ClI) and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylmethanediamine (TMMD) in DMSO as the solvent at ambient temperatute.The mechanism of the transformation is discussed on the basis of product analysis and 1H NMR spectral studies.The reagent system CH2ClI/TMMD also provides a convenient route to the Eschenmoser's salt ().
