Given the importance of amines in a large number biologically active natural products, pharmaceutical ingredients, agrochemicals, and functional materials, development efficient C–N bond-forming methods with wide substrate scope continues to be at frontier research synthetic organic chemistry. Here, we present general fundamentally new approach for direct, transition-metal-free preparation symmetrical unsymmetrical diaryl-, arylalkyl-, dialkylamines that relies on facile single or double...
Herein, we present a general synthetic strategy for the preparation of 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-membered heterocyclic unnatural amino acid derivatives by exploiting facile Mannich-type reactions between readily available N-alkyl- N-aryl-substituted diisopropyl iminomalonates wide range soft anionic C-nucleophiles without using any catalyst or additive. Fully substituted aziridines were obtained in single step when enolates α-bromo esters employed as nucleophiles. Enantiomerically enriched...
