Dimethylamine → N,N-Dimethyl-5,5-diphenylpent-4-en-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Next, an aqueous solution (40%) of dimethyl amine (25 equivalents) is added slowly to a THF solution of 1.0 equivalent of 5-bromo-1,1-diphenyl-1-pentene that has been obtained in the previous step. The mixture is then stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, and worked up in the usual manner to yield 5-(N,N-dimethyl)amino-1,1-diphenyl-1-pentene as a yellow oil.
