Abstract

Selective N-monoalkylation of aromatic amines with 1° and 2° alcohols and conversion of aromatic amines to amides are performed immediately and in excellent yields using triphenylphosphine (PPh3) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) in dichloromethane at room temperature. Symmetrical and unsymmetrical N,N-dialkylation of aromatic amines are also carried out in modest yield at room temperature by this reagent system.
