Highly Efficient N‐Monomethylation of Primary Aryl Amines

Abstract: A highly efficient method for specific synthesis of N-monomethylarylamines is presented. Anilines were treated with acetic anhydride and triethylamine in dry CH 2 Cl 2 to give the corresponding acetamides. The subsequent N-monomethylation of acetyl aryl amines with methyl iodide and NaH in THF introduced methyl group. Acid hydrolysis of the N-methyl acetanilides in ethylene glycol generated the corresponding N-methyl-N-aryl amines in high yields. This method was also used to synthesize (E)-2-bromo-5-(4-methyla… Show more

“…The X-ray study of G 1 -COOCH 3 shows that the three dendrons have large but proper volumes as the fine ligands of Brookhart's catalyst. The amides prepared by ammonolysis of G 1 -COOCH 3 in high yields have been readily converted to the corresponding amines using sodium hypochlorite as the oxidant.…”

“…7 mL of 9% NaOCl (Chlorox) plus carboxamide 3,4,5-G 1 -CONH 2 (2.0 mmol) was added into this magnetically stirred mixture, with the former being added drop-wise. The mixture was allowed to be warmed to room temperature and then stirred intensively for 30 min to produce the intermediate carbamate 3,4,5-G 1 -NHCO 2 CH 3 . A solution of NaOH (40 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) and water (2 mL) was added, and the whole mixture was heated under reflux for 4 d. The obtained solution was cooled to room temperature and then the solvent was evaporated in vacuum to separate out the precipitate.…”

“…The mixture was concentrated to dryness, anhydrous pentane (100 mL) was added and the resulting colorless solid was filtered, washed with anhydrous pentane (2 50 mL) and dried in vacuo to yield 3 c as a colorless solid (10.5 N-Methyl-4-iodoacetanilide (4 v): A modified literature procedure was followed. [30] A 100 mL round-bottomed Schlenk flask with a rubber septum was charged with sodium hydride suspension in mineral oil (60 %, 480 mg, 12 mmol), which was washed with anhydrous pentane (20 mL), and evacuated and refilled with nitrogen three times. A solution of 4-iodoacetanilide (2.61 g, 10.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (50 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 min.…”

“…To achieve the N‐monomethylated product, Krein and Lowary reported an efficient route for the preparation of 2‐(methylamino)pyridine 161 from the readily accessible intermediate 159 . Similarly, Peng and co‐workers described a convenient protocol to access the N‐monomethylated aniline 164 from the acetamide intermediate 162 (Scheme ) …”
