Abstract

Full details of the direct and general method for the reductive alkylation of tertiary lactams and amides to give tertiary sec-alkylamines are presented. This one-pot method consists of in situ activation of a lactam or an amide with Tf2O/DTBMP, addition of a Grignard reagent, and reduction of the resulting iminium intermediates. Alkyl, benzyl, and aryl Grignard reagents and several reductants or reducing conditions (LiAlH4, NaBH4, Hantzsch ester, ...
