Abstract

A general procedure is described for regiospecific construction of unsymmetrical N-alkyl (or aralkyl)-N′-aryl-α,ω-diaminoalkanes 3 (n=2,3,4) by reduction of N-(ω -arylaminoalkyl)amides 2 with borane. Compounds 2 are readily obtained by condensation of N-(ω-haloalkyl)amides 1 with aromatic amines.

Notes

Reaction between N-(4-chlorobutyl)benzamide and aliphatic amines leads preferentially to N-benzoylpyrrolidine (unpublished results)
