Substituted Ureas and Their Analogues Containing Cage Fragments: III. Synthesis of Monoimines Based on Camphor and Aliphatic Diamines
摘要
Abstract
The study was aimed at selective synthesis of monoimines from camphor and aliphatic diamines. Among the three diamines used, ethane-1,2-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine, and hexane-1,6-diamine, the latter in an amount of 5 equiv showed the highest selectivity (more than 90%). The selectivity in the reactions with hexane-1,6-diamine and propane-1,3-diamine remained high, whereas in the case of ethane-1,2diamine the selectivity was lower (77.4%). These findings are well explained by the proposed mechanism involving zinc carboxylates as catalysts.
