Mannich reaction of carbonyl compounds via boron enolates and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyldiaminomethane
Abstract
A variety of carbonyl compounds undergo N,N-dimethylaminomethylation in moderate to good yields by the Mannich reaction involving boron enolates and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyldiaminomethane in dichloromethane.
