Allyl bromide → (R)-N-Allyl-1-aminoindane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R)-indan-1-amine (1.00 g, 7.51 mmol) and triethylamine (1.52 g, 15.0 mmol) in DCM (75 mL) was added allyl bromide (1.36 g, 11.3 mmol) and the mixture was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 3 days. An additional 1.5 equivalents of allyl bromide and 0.5 equivalents of triethylamine were then added, and the reaction mixture was stirred an additional 24 hours. LCMS analysis now indicates the reaction mixture is a 27:35:38 mixture of starting material:desired product:bis-allylation product. Use this solution as is.
