摘要

N-Alkyl-and N-arylfluorenimines undergo azophilic addition with n-BuLi to give N-butyl-N- alkyl-or N-butyl-N-aryl-9-aminofluorene systems. The fluorenyl group can then be hydrogenolyzed, furnishing the secondary amine. The selectivity for azophilic (vs carbophilic) addition ranges from 80 to 100% for the N-alkylfluorenimines to 24-29% for the N-arylfluorenimines. The decreased azophilic selectivity of the N-arylfluorenimines can be ...
