ChemInform Abstract: Selective Synthesis of N-(Cyclohexylmethyl)-N-alkylamines from Primary Amines and Pimelaldehyde Using Tetracarbonylhydridoferrate, HFe(CO)4-, as a Reducing Reagent.
Abstract
The amines (I) react with pimelaldehyde (II) in the presence of CO and tetracarbonylhydridoferrate generated in situ from Fe(CO)5 and KOH to form the cyclohexylmethylamines (III).
