Abstract
Palladium(II) acetate is a versatile, inexpensive, and simple catalyst for the selective N-monoalkylation of amino derivatives with poor nucleophilic character, such as aromatic and heteroaromatic amines as well as carboxamides, sulfonamides, and phosphazenes, using, in all cases, primary alcohols as the initial source of the electrophile, through a hydrogen autotransfer process. The regioselectivity of the benzothiazol-2-amine alkylation is contrary to that found using halogenated electrophiles.
Key words
alcohols - alkylation - amines - hydrogen transfer - palladium
