Abstract

An efficient and mild method for the direct conversion of alcohols into N-alkylphthalimides using 2, 4, 6-trichloro-1, 3, 5-triazine and dimethylformamide was described. The reaction was preceded via (alcoxymethylene) dimethylammonium chloride intermediate and produced corresponding N-alkylphthalimides in good-to-excellent yields.
