The chemistry of N-substituted benzotriazoles. Part 4. A novel and versatile method for the mono-N-alkylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines

Abstract

Mono-N-alkylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines is achieved in high yield by NaBH4 reduction of the adducts formed from benzotriazole, aliphatic aldehydes and the amines. Reaction of the same adducts with Grignard reagents gives N-(secondary alkyl)arylamines. Carboxy groups need no protection and nitro groups are unaffected. Adenine is mono-N-alkylated in high yield.
